I got the impression that you didn't want to buy wine to cook with since no
one at your house (apparently) drinks it. I thought it might help you to
know that you can substitute vinegar and sugar for wine whenever wine is
called for in a recipe. The vinegar and sugar combined will add a 'wine'
flavoring when it is cooked and you don't end up with an almost full bottle
hanging around.
just thought that might be useful to you...
