- Goya, Cooking Wine White, 25.4 OZ (Pack of 12)
I can't believe that I let Food Channel type propaganda keep me from using cooking wine for so long. According to the foodie agitprop you should only use a wine you would like to drink in your cooking. Sounds reasonable, right?? Wrong! In fact most wine of the more delicate sort rolls right off meats like water off a duck's back. It doesn't soak in, thus it gives no flavor, and often complicates other matters by adding liquid just sitting the bottom of the pan. Cooking wine is made to soak in. Yes, there is some salt in it, but not much. It's real quality is the ability to get into the fleish and change the flavor and temper the fattiness, certainly a good thing in all cooking. This Goya brand is particularly good. It makes everything taste more rounded-out in flavors. I can imagine that in very rarefied circumstances a fine wine would augment a dish, but I really doubt it in most cooking. I think the food mavens' doctrines against the everyday cook's ability to make food taste really fine is a bit of petty snobbery with no sense. And this in a day and age when top chefs are sticking stuff like mayonnaise in their preciosities. Quite ironic.

I loved this wine!
First of all, I like the fact I got plastic bottles instead of glass. I'm clumsy and that's always comforting.
Secondly, it's the SAME thing you're gonna find in any cooking wine. I usually buy a 16oz bottle of white cooking wine from my local grocery store which is almost six dollars. This is a bigger bottle, same product, same great taste! What more could you want?
P.S: Being that it's GOYA, I love the Spanish labels. It makes it easier at home with my familia. Cuz you know they'll prolly be wanting to drink the wine instead of cooking it. Lol, jk.
I gave this as a gift for an 85 year old lady and she hasn't stopped talking about it! She loved the boxes (the pictures don't do it justice) and she said the treats were awesome.
