cooking wine
Kitchen bottle ingredient
Cooking wine is wine intended for use in recipes rather than drinking.
It's typically lower quality and often contains added salt, which extends shelf life but makes it unpalatable on its own.
Serious cooks generally prefer regular wine, following the principle that you shouldn't cook with wine you wouldn't drink: The recipe calls for a cup of white wine, but don't use that cooking wine—grab something decent.
