As a familiar ingredient, wine will help you cook more creatively, cut down on your desire for salt, make an everyday meal more interesting, and it will stimulate your sense of taste. All of these benefits can be attained without leaving any alcohol in the food because it evaporates during cooking. What remains is flavor, health, and elegance.
