A $120 wine kits produce about 30 bottles of wine at $4-$5 each - equivalent to a $15-$20 bottle of wine from the wine store. I'm saying that's the kind of wine one should be cooking with - NOT the crap wine some people have talked about in this thread.
I guess I define a 'good' wine as something that retails for $15-$20 in Canada at the wine store... a GREAT wine is the next step... and I agree you'll not see much difference in using one of those to a good wine in cooking... BUT using a CRAP wine will result in crap flavors... they have to go somewhere  |
I hear ya! The Petrus was just for illustrative purposes. I guess just don't see the point in the the effort when there are many quaff-able Chilean, and Argentinian wines in the $7-9 range. Beer I see as being more suitable to home brew since by adding different hops etc, allows you to control the flavors, and you aren't so reliant on generic grape juice.
My parents make their own wine from time to time.. I just bring my own when going over there
