What to use instead of 1 cup white wine
1
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth + 1 tbsp lemon juice
The best all-round swap.
Best for: Risotto, pan sauces, seafood
2
1 cup broth + 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
A little sharper.
Best for: Braises, sauces
Chef's tipUse a non-alcoholic white wine 1 for 1 if you have it.
Substituting pantry staples
Pantry swaps are usually the most forgiving, because these ingredients play a supporting role. Taste as you go, add the substitute a little at a time, and adjust seasoning at the end. When a swap is sweeter or saltier than the original, reduce other sugar or salt in the recipe to balance it.
Need more or less than 1 cup white wine? Scale the swap the same way as the original amount, or paste your recipe into the recipe converter to scale everything at once.
