Recipe for Alcohol-free white "wine"?

Posted in: Grape Growing by admin on June 26, 2010

I once saw a cooking tv show where they simulated the taste of white wine using grape juice and some other stuff. Unfortunately, i cant find the recipe for it. I was hoping someone here knows how to make alcohol-free white wine, to make my cooking healthy and tasty even for kids.

You can buy it at your local supermarket, unless you simply prefer to make it yourself.

If so, just buy a bottle of white wine that has the flavors you are looking for, pour it into a large cooking pot and simmer lightly for an hour or two. It will smell awful for a while because it will be evaporating the ethanol (alcohol) in the wine. Once that smell has gone away, you know the ethanol has evaporated out. This works because ethanol has a lower boiling temp than water so it will boil out first. Make sure you do not cook it at too high of a temp or it will cook the desired flavors of the wine.

Also remember that when you cook with wine, the alcohol cooks out. So your end result is alcohol-free.

Happy cooking!

    You can buy alcohol-free wine, and it’s actually pretty cheap (like around $5 /bottle). One brand that comes to mind is: Fre

    The non-alcohol wines are usually located in the wine-section of the supermarkets (that sell alcohol) near the Ports, Sherrys, and Kosher wines.
