Professional chefs masterfully use various alcoholic beverages for culinary purposes, achieving unique taste qualities.

However, people without special education sometimes find it difficult to understand why alcohol is needed when preparing food.

As it turns out, alcohol has a positive effect on taste and aroma. Each type of dish uses a special type of alcohol.

Why add wine to vegetable broth?

This type of broth is often underestimated, as meat and chicken broths are considered to be much tastier and healthier. This is a misconception.

A quality vegetable broth can become a real culinary masterpiece, capable of transforming any first course.

It may seem that wine does not go well with vegetable broth. But this is a misconception. If you add a little alcoholic drink during the cooking process, the taste of the dish will become richer and more powerful.

The broth also turns out very aromatic.

The thing is that wine literally "forces" vegetable components to reveal their full potential. For such a dish, it is better to use a white variety of alcoholic drink.
