Cooking Wine

Wine is fermented juice of grapes, made in many varieties, such as red, white, sweet, dry, still, and sparkling, for use as a beverage, in cooking, in religious rites, etc., and usually having an alcoholic content of 14 percent or less. Cooking wine is intended for use in recipes rather than as a separate beverage.
