"Cheap Wine Works Fine"

Hell yeah it does. Particularly when it comes out of a box.

Said Julia Child: “If you do not have a good wine to use, it is far better to omit it, for a poor one can spoil a simple dish and utterly debase a noble one.”

And so we came to a new gospel: Never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink.

But it is not always helpful in the kitchen....short of a wine that is spoiled by age, heat or a compromised cork, there are few that I categorically would not drink.

Enough said.
