Re: Which wine?

I find that recipes that include wine will simply state - this amount
of white wine, this amount of red wine. It seems rarely do the
recipes state what type of white wine or red wine; e.g Chenin Blanc? A
Chardonnay? Sauvignon Blanc? etc. Same with the reds - what would one
use for cooking?

I don't drink wine, and I barely care what wine I cook with.

I believe Cook's Illustrated liked Coppola's Rosso for a red wine. I
often
use vermouth for white. It lasts a long time in the refrigerator and
most
of my dishes are so highly flavored that I can't tell the difference.

We laid in a four-pack each of those splits of some California red and
white,
and we use those, too.

Having said that, I don't do, like, a reduction of a whole bottle down
to a half
cup, where the wine might actually make a difference. I usually just
splash
some in to deglaze the pan, or glug it into a monster pot of spaghetti
sauce.
