We've all been there - you're in the midst of preparing a delicious meal, and the recipe calls for a splash of wine to enhance the flavors. But what do you do with the leftover wine? You pour it into a glass and enjoy it yourself!

With Drink Dry's non-alcoholic wine, you can savor every sip and make the most of your leftover wine in the kitchen. However, cooking with alcohol or non alcoholic versions of drinks can be tricky.

Let’s see some of our tips for you:

  1. If you wouldn't drink it, you shouldn't cook with it

When it comes to cooking with wine, whether it's conventional wine or non-alcoholic wine, quality matters. The wine you choose can greatly impact the flavors of your dish, and that's why it's important to start with a high-quality bottle of wine that you would actually drink.

Wine is not just a cooking ingredient; it's a flavor enhancer that can elevate your dish to new heights. When you add wine to your recipes, whether it's a stew, sauce, risotto, or marinade, it imparts its unique flavors and aromas to the dish. The quality of the wine directly affects the flavors that are infused into your food.

If you start with a low-quality wine that you wouldn't enjoy drinking, it's likely to have off-flavors, bitterness, or astringency that can negatively impact the taste of your dish. On the other hand, a high-quality non-alcoholic wine, will have balanced flavors, complex aromas, and a smooth finish that can enhance the flavors of your food in a delightful way.

  1. Give the wine some time to sit after opening to reveal some additional body

We've all heard of the age-old practice of letting red wines "breathe" to mellow out the tannins and reveal their true flavors. Non-alcoholic wines can also change in flavor and body when given time to sit after opening.

When you open a bottle of non-alcoholic wine, giving it some time to breathe allows the flavors to open up and evolve. The wine can release its aromas, develop more complexity, and showcase its true character. This can make a significant difference in the flavors that are imparted to your dish when cooking with non-alcoholic wine. So, before you use non-alcoholic wine in your recipes, take a moment to let it breathe and unlock its hidden flavors.

  1. Don’t rush the process, lower the heat

Reducing sauces is an essential step in many recipes, as it helps to concentrate flavors and create a rich and flavorful base for your dish. When using non-alcoholic wine, it's important to exercise patience and not rush the process. Non-alcoholic wine may not evaporate as quickly as conventional wine due to the absence of alcohol, so it's important to give it the time it needs to work its magic.

Lowering the heat and allowing the non-alcoholic wine to simmer and reduce slowly can result in a more nuanced and complex flavor profile. The flavors have time to meld together, creating a harmonious blend of tastes that can elevate your dish to new heights.

Just like with any other ingredient, the flavors of non-alcoholic wine can vary depending on the brand, grape variety, and winemaking process. So, be sure to taste your sauce as it reduces and adjust the amount of non-alcoholic wine to achieve the desired flavor profile.

  1. Enhance flavors with other ingredients

If you find that your non-alcoholic wine isn't giving you the exact flavor profile you're after, don't be afraid to get creative and enhance the flavors with other ingredients. Non-alcoholic wines can have different taste profiles compared to conventional wines, so it's important to experiment and adjust to achieve the desired taste. Here are some ideas to tweak the flavor of your dish when cooking with non-alcoholic wine.

Herbs and Spices for a Flavor Boost: If your non-alcoholic wine is on the sweeter side and you're looking for a more balanced flavor, you can add blended herbs or spices to your dish. Fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or sage can add earthy and aromatic notes to your sauce or stew. Spices like cinnamon, clove, or star anise can add warmth and depth to your dish.

Cocoa Powder for Richness: To enhance the flavors of a non-alcoholic red wine, you can add a dash of cocoa powder to your dish. Cocoa powder adds a subtle bitterness and depth to the sauce, which can help to mimic the complexity of red wine flavors

Balance with Acidity: Most non-alcoholic wines tend to be naturally sweeter. f you find that your dish is becoming too sweet with the addition of non-alcoholic wine, you can balance it out with acidity. Lemon juice or vinegar can add a tangy and bright note to your dish, helping to cut through the sweetness of the wine and add balance to the overall flavor.
