If you don’t have white wine at home, which is listed in the ingredients for a particular dish, it can be easily replaced with other components.

Lemon juice or vinegar

The optimal replacement for white wine in the recipe is an acidic ingredient, reports ADVICE.NEWS .

Take some white vinegar or lemon juice.

Apple, rice, and wine vinegars can also be used as substitutes.

Important: you shouldn't use vinegar with a strong smell or taste. Also, don't forget that balsamic and sherry vinegars can affect the color of the dish.

Since wine has a much lower acidity level than lemon or vinegar, don't overdo it.

Other alcohol

White wine can sometimes be replaced with vermouth, sparkling wine, rose or red wine.

Red wine, like balsamic vinegar, has coloring properties. Keep this in mind when cooking.

Broth with acid

The broth is also suitable as a substitute for white wine in cooking.

However, the sourness inherent in white wine should be added using the same lemon juice or vinegar.

Use the same amount of broth as wine in the recipe.

By using one of these life hacks, you can replace white wine in a risotto recipe or other dishes without any visible changes.
