Pinot Grigio is usually the white I use. The red is whatever I'm drinking which if I know I'm cooking when I buy will be a cab 90% of the time.

Yep. I always buy the 4-pack of mini wines. I'll use wine I'm drinking sometimes, but if not in the mood for wine, the mini bottles do fine.
My favorite wine is Sauv blanc so if I'm not using the mini bottles, I use that.

Man, thanks for this. I found a place that's liquidating wine for $2 a 5th. I can get a case (12) for $20.99.

If you wouldn't drink it, why would you cook with it ?

Stad.... next time you're in Rouses spend $10 and get some of those 10 for $10 bottles of wine and use that when the recipe calls for wine.

Serious Eats recently did an experiment cooking with wine. LINK
The resulting tips:
The resulting tips:
quote:
Don't use an off-dry wine when a dry one is called for: The residual sugar in the off-dry wines will completely change the flavor of a dish.
Don't splurge on wine for cooking: The flavor and aromas that make one wine better than another are largely lost during cooking and layering with other ingredients.
Consider the wine's acidity: More tart wines will cook down into much more tart foods; this can be desirable in some cases and not desirable in others.
Don't worry as much about oak and tannin: They can have an impact on the final dish, but not as much as the sugar and acidity of a wine.
Bad wine can be good to cook with: At least sometimes, flawed wines can produce good results through the transformational power of cooking, but proceed at your own risk because good results aren't guaranteed.
