I put this ingredient under the category "Stocks/Broth" because that is how I use it in some sauces and stews. The alcohol evaporates while cooking, leaving just the flavor enhancement as needed when included. I buy cooking wines in the grocery store, such as Holland House by label. Though many serious cooks would frown on this, taste is the test, and the results get very high marks in our experience.
