4.8% Vol. Cooking Wines

Discover their White and Red 4.8% Vol. cooking wines. 

Adding wine when you’re cooking and to your sauces adds flavour and umami. Where would these dishes be without wine: Coq Au Vin and Beef Bourguignon.

Gourmet Classic Cooking White Wine is a versatile ingredient designed to elevate your culinary creations. Use it for creating pan sauces, marinating meats and seafood, and adding depth to soups and stews.

Looking for something more complex, their Cooking Red Wine is a rich and flavorful ingredient perfect for adding depth to your dishes. Use it for braising meats, marinating poultry and game and adding a robust taste to sauces. 

 4.8% Vol. Fortified Cooking Wines

Don’t miss their range of fortified cooking wines: Port and Madeira. 

A cooking Port and Madeira would traditionally be used with stronger game meats and fish. Stronger-flavoured food requires a stronger-flavoured wine, and not forgetting alcohol drenched desserts from tiramisu to sherry trifle.

Add a touch of elegance with Gourmet Classic’s Fortified Madeira Cooking Wine or a touch of luxury with their Fortified Port Cooking Wine. Both crafted with a blend of de-alcoholised fortified wine concentrate, these cooking wines offer a concentrated flavour profile without the overpowering alcohol content. 

25% Vol. Cooking Brandy

To complete their range, it is a classic cooking spirit: Brandy.

Cooking Brandy is a rich and flavorful ingredient designed to add a touch of sophistication to your culinary creations. Crafted from premium brandy, it offers a robust taste with a 25% Vol. 

This cooking spirit is perfect for Christmas pudding, brandy butter and steak Diane or peppercorn sauce.
