Cooking wine refers to inexpensive wine that has been treated with salt as a preservative. It is intended for use as an ingredient in food rather than as a beverage. When a wine bottle is opened and the wine is exposed to oxygen, a fermentation|fermentative process will transform the alcohol into acetic acid resulting in wine vinegar. The salt in cooking wine inhibits the growth of the acetic acid producing microorgasisms. This preservation is important because a bottle of cooking wine may be opened and used occasionally over a long period of time. Cooking wines are convenient for cooks who use wine as an ingredient for cooking only rarely.
