Cooking with wine adds a depth of flavor, and a few calories, to many recipes. Avoid using aluminum or iron pans for wine-based recipes, as the alcohol will react with these metals, according to the Cooks Thesaurus.
White
White cooking wine adds a bright flavor to chicken picatta, along with 20 calories for every 2 tbs. added to this recipe, reports CalorieKing website.
Burgandy
Julia Child deglazes the pan with burgundy wine in her classic beef bourguignon recipe. Similar to white wine in calories, each 8-oz. cup of burgundy adds 160 calories.
Sherry
The sauce in seafood newburgh gets its distinctive flavor from cooking sherry, which adds 25 calories per oz.
Marsala
Marsala adds a savory note to the classic Italian dish veal marsala, along with 30 calories per oz. of wine. Choose a dry marsala for this recipe, as the sweeter sipping variety will add too strong of a flavor.
