Cooking with Wine!

Choosing a wine to cook with is really critical to the outcome of your cooking. Just as finding a good butcher can enhance your cooking, choosing the appropriate wine will improve the end product and produce a meal you can very proud to serve to any guest. Your dish will taste only as good as the ingredients you put into it - including your wine choice.
Dispelling the myth that cheap wine is all you need for cooking, requires first hand trial and error. I recommend you choose the wine type recommended for the recipe - its does not have to be the most expensive but it should not be the cheapest on the shelf.
If you are not a wine drinker, then choose the recommended type of wine given in the recipe - such as Cabernet, Sauvignon or Beaujolais. These names generally refer to the region that the wines originally comes from. The LCBO is often divided by country, so you can find wine types from Italy, Greece, or France. The second important aspect is the sugar content in the wine and this is also provided at the store - usually between 0 to 4, from no sugar to very sweet.
Take your time and choose wisely!
