26 ingredients · 82 tested substitutes
Alcohol in cooking adds flavor depth and helps deglaze pans. Non-alcoholic substitutes need to match both the flavor profile and the liquid volume. Wine can be replaced with broth plus vinegar for acidity, while spirits like bourbon often swap with vanilla extract plus apple juice. The flavor will differ slightly, but the recipe structure stays intact.
