My mother learned from her family that you drank drinking wine and you cooked with cooking wine. … and the kids mostly really preferred the dishes without wine. Only much later did I figure out that if it ain’t good enough to drink, you SURE don’t want to concentrate it with heat before you serve it. We have made that home-chef joke our mantra: “We love to cook with wine. Sometimes we even put it in the food!”
