If a recipe calls for white wine can you substitute anything else?

I have a chicken casserole recipe that calls for 1/2 cup of white wine. I'm not much of a wine drinker and I really don't want to go out and buy a whole bottle of wine for just this one recipe. If anybody can help me that would be great. Thanks so much!|||In my former marriage, a family member was a recovering alcoholic. We used 7-Up as an alcohol substitute for almost everything. It will cut the oil which is sometimes what alcohol is doing (like in sauteed mushrooms).|||You can substitute chicken broth or water.





You just won't that extra touch and flavor that wine gives it.|||Chicken broth would be the best choice or maybe cream of chicken soup.|||Apple juice, chicken broth or buy a small bottle of cooking wine.|||Yes..like posted befor Chicken broth..|||It won't taste the same, but you could probably use chicken broth instead of the wine. A better substitution, in my opinion, would be half chicken broth and half dry sherry. You'd still have to buy a whole bottle of sherry, but it keeps forever. Get a bottle of a California sherry like Christian Brothers. Don't get anything labeled "cooking sherry" or "cooking wine".|||OK as a professional chef i'm gonna tell you flat out that you shouldn't substitute anything, the wine is not only adding a tart taste but adds a certain texture. You can go to a liquor store and get a cheap white wine for like $3-4, trust me it's worth the buy. If you dont think you'll use it all save it for a future recipie or next time you make this casserole. Another option would be just to give it to someone who does like it as a friendly gesture.|||Should'nt.|||Use an equal amount of apple or white grape juice or chicken broth. To achieve the "tartness" that wine would lend also add a half teaspoon of white vinegar. Bon Appetit!|||chicken broth, veggie broth, apple juice or water|||chicken stock , vegetable stock, water or I have even used juice. pretty much what ever you want to use.
