Substitutes for White wine
Dry unoaked white wine
Pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc work one for one.
Works well in a spritz. Pour it last to top up the drink.
Undiluted, it makes the drink stronger and herbal. Cut with water, two parts to one, it comes to about 10–12%, with an herbal edge and a touch more sweetness.
Alcohol-free white wine
Often sweeter. Cut any syrup by half a barspoon to a barspoon per 90 ml of wine.
Storage
Oxidizes once opened — refrigerate and use within 2–3 days.
