I have a question about a reciepe I am making for dinner tonight?

Question

I am making sauteed chicken b*****s with a mustard and cream sauce for dinner tonight The receipe calls for dry white wine and all I have is a sweet white wine. Will this work the same or is there something I can do to offset the sweet taste of the wine to make it more dry like or do you think that it won't make that much of a difference in the reciepe.

Answer 1

I don't think it will make much of a difference. If your recipe calls for any honey or other sweetener then you may want to cut back on that a bit. You may also want to add a touch of acid to brighten the flavor. Something like a squeeze of lemon or a teaspoon of red wine vinegar.

I tend not to follow recipes exactly. I'll add a dash of this and a squeeze of that until I like the taste. . .

Answer 2

you could use vermouth if you have it or substitute  chicken or beef broth for the wine.

Answer 3

You don't have to use wine if you don't want to, or don't have it.  You can use water or stock - it won't be as flavorful, but it will still taste good.

Answer 4

Sweet white wine is not really that sweet.  Use it anyway -- might be better!!!
