Substitute for red wine?

Question

I am making a red wine sauce for dinner and realized I don't have any red wine and the red wine cooking sauce expired in 06 so I'm guessing that would be nasty. The recipe calls for a 1/4 cup and I cant buy wine(not 21 yet). The only other 2 things I have is red wine vinegar and a non alcoholic red grape sparkling drink. Would either one of these work. Thanks so much. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Answer 1

Answer 2

You can substitute red grape juice, cranberry juice, chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth, fruit juices or flavored vinegar

Answer 3

Red wine can be substituted with:

Non-alcoholic wine, beef or chicken broth or stock, diluted red wine vinegar, red grape juice diluted with red wine vinegar or rice vinegar, tomato juice, liquid from canned mushrooms, plain water.
