Hello dear internet friends,
where I live, alcohol is taxed over 50%. Do you have any suggestions on how to replace red or white wine in recipes? There are some alcohol-free wines available but are they any good for cooking?

Closet mead
the fermentation of the yeast makes the alcohol
INSHALLA YOU WILL BE WHIPPED 500 TIMES FOR EVEN ASKING
Wine can't be substituted. If it's not the main ingredient of the sauce you could replace white wine with white wine vinegar. This doesn't work with red wine though imo.
Just buy shit wine, it's made just for that. we have specific brand of wine so awful nobody would drink it except terminal stage alcoholics as we're using it specificaly for cooking, like for 2 euros you would get 1L of "Villageoise"
>not buying 1 l tetra pak wines
some of us wouldnt even put that cheap shit into our food
I wouldn't do either. Wine doesn't even fall under alcohol tax here.
where op and i guess me lives this liter would be 700ml and priced at a good €8
'don't cook with any wine you wouldn't drink' is a pretty good rule of thumb
I wouldn't drink any wine, I think it’s all absolutely foul. I still use and enjoy it in cooking. I use a bottle cheap enough that I later realized it was slowly leaking because I could only fit in in the fridge by lying it down.
Just make your own.
it doesn't seem like much of an issue to me. if you were an alcoholic like me, the tax could make you go broke. but if you're just cooking with wine, you're not using very much of it. i mean, you're not cooking 10 gallons of bolognese a week or whatever. i don't see the issue. if you're only going to use a little bit of wine at a time and you're worried about a bottle going bad, you can freeze it in an ice cube tray. you wouldn't want to drink it like that, but it would be fine for cooking. alternatively, you could get some boxed wine. there is actually some pretty good stuff out there now and since the plastic bag shrinks as you empty it, it doesn't let air into the undrunk portion, keeping it from oxidizing. it'll keep for a lot longer than a bottle.
I forgot to mention that there is also basically a monopoly and only one shop sells alcoholic drinks with more than 5,5% of alcohol volume. Their prices are absurd. I guess I have always though that it's just the tax but there is also that.
Where are you?
You don't understand, he's a yuropoor. His income is also taxed 50% so he can't afford the occasional wine.
take the ferry to estonia, load up on booze, take the ferry home. and you can get drunk while there too
Try cooking wine. Try stock. Try travelling out of region for wine. Taste and adjust, it's a sauce.
cheap wine is fine for cooking and it's like 5€ in a bottle you cheap mongoloid
5€ wont get you even a 1/2 liter cartoon here
No, but 5,89 does.
Ok, well 10 to 20 euros gets you a pretty decent bottle of wine. Do you really cook and drink enough for it to be too expensive? I'm sticking with the cheap mongoloid remark and not washing my mouth.
i just drank a liter of wine for dinner that i paid €1.09 for
snownaggers dont know what there missing

here you go bro
Nonsense. We cook with the wine we serve at the table. And we don't buy our wine in supermarkets. Go wash your filthy mouth with soap.
Cooking wine is usually cheaper or non-alcoholic. How much wine cooking do you actually do where the sin tax is that much of an overhead?
it seems that more than half of the good recipes I know include some wine. I mostly do french or italian stuff.
Hellow fellow Finnbro, switch to Mormon kitchen and enjoy your bank account.
that guy was a nonce
>alcohol-free wines available but are they any good for cooking?
They're worthless both for cooking and drinking. Your best bet is to ferment (not: brew) yourself. Have a look at The Noma Guide to Fermentation: https://www.amazon.com/Noma-Guide-Fermentation-lacto-ferments-Foundations/dp/1579657184
Cooking wine
Is this true? Is it her fault? May god help me I hate women so fucking much
What is this anti-bacchanalian hellscape OP lives in?
>Do you have any suggestions on how to replace red or white wine in recipes? There are some alcohol-free wines available but are they any good for cooking?
I mean just don't use wine, but as I read somewhere, if you wouldn't drink it, why would you cook with it.
Cooking wine is not that expensive. Where I live, it's not taxed, and a bottle of cheap pinot grigio costs 5 american bucks. I literally bought one today. Add 50% to that, that's only 7.50. I use wine in cooking quite a bit, and it takes me more than a month on average to finish a bottle. That is not a big expense.
Just use the cheapest wine available, surely there is something for only a few bucks
>being so fucking poor you can't even afford a glasses worth of wine for cooking
Sweden
Yes
I'm in a bind as well. I live in Onterrible and I'm trying to be most economical about my drinks. A 24 pack of beer is $50+ that's absurd. Everything is fucked at the moment. Thought about making hooch with cranberry juice or something idk. Help, anons. Is homebrewing worth it? I read that homebrewing is just as expensive as buying store bought
Buy a fermentation bucket, a bag of sugar, a pack of turbo yeast, and a still. Enjoy starving the governmemt of tax dollars with every sip.
Yikes, what shit hole part of the US are you in? Just drive to the next town over and load up on like 100 dollars worth of wine and then slowly use them over time.
move out
why are scandi cucks so retarded tho
Make your own
kingcobrajfs on youtube as some good homemade wine tutorials, check him out
Use stock to deglazed instead of wine, and then add a touch of red wine vinegar (assuming this isn't taxed so high as well, there's basically no alcohol in it). This achieves the same effects, in my opinion, as simply using red wine.
I am conflicted
On the one hand I wish cask wine was taxed more because than I wouldn't have drunk so much of it as a stupid fucking teenager but then it helps that it's so cheap for cooking
