However, the statement “don’t cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink” was generally debunked.


I feel like we read a different sentence here.

quote:

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.


That is in no way debunking the "don't cook with wine you wouldn't drink." It's saying "you might get lucky sometimes and that shitty wine will work well."

Sure. Wouldn’t disagree with you on the risk of cooking with spoiled wine. Was just posting some actual experimental evidence that I’d read before.

I would say that it seems to be more important to be familiar with the wine you’re cooking with so that you can achieve desired results. Just because you’d drink a wine, doesn’t make it the best wine for the job.

Where I think the “cook with what you drink” makes sense is, generally you’d be familiar enough with the wine, plus you’d likely have some left to drink form a bottle.
