I want to get a nice white and red wine to cook with. - I don't drink any at all (religious beliefs) but I do cook with it. I had been buying the cooking wine and ahh to much salt! I don't want to spend a lot of money but at the same time I've got to get something better then the cooking wine in the stores

thanks

oh and put it in English - in other words explain it real plain and simple because I don't know anything about wines, etc

I use Pennsylvania White Merlot Table Wine and California Marsala. You can buy both at a Canals LiquorStore.

The supermarket where I shop carries small bottles of red and white wines. They come four bottles to a pack. Each bottle contains about 3/4 cup of wine.

Max that is what I would suggest also. I used them for years. the Vendange chardonnay is a Great White wine as it is good a dry. but all of them are of decent quality and will work wonderfully. If you don't drink wine then it is one of the best ways to keep it around for cooking.

My jewel has a rack of small bottles of wine. I stock up whenever I go as they are only 99 cents a bottle for some really good name brand wines.

We don't drink at home so this is the only way it makes sense for us.

Vendange brand also has cardboard containers with plastic caps so you can reseal the container. it is like a milk carton basically.

The thing is, always taste any wine before you cook with it. Wine doesn't have to be expensive to be worth cooking with, but if you can't drink it, then you certainly can't cook with it.
