 I only cook with a wine that l would happily drink by itself, in fact I highly recommend this practice. After all cooking for oneself and others should be enjoyable, right? Any wine marketed as specifically cooking wine is almost always awful and should be avoided completely. So keep on cooking with wine. And remember to save some for your guests!
