Not that I drink or anything...... But I like to keep Lambrusco and chardonnay on hand at all times. Lambrusco has a good flavor for cooking...as well as drinking while you're cooking...not that I would know that, but I heard that somewhere.....

I have an apron that says, "I love cooking with beer...sometimes I even add it to my food."
Ladystressout..any red or white wine that you enjoy will work for cooking..there's no right or wrong, it's whatever you'd also drink because that will be the flavour that it adds to your dish. I choose to cook (and drink) with dry wines because I don't like a lot of sweetness in my food...or wine. But again, it's whatever you prefer.

For a white wine try a nice domestic May wine. They are lighter than many white wines and have a lovely flavor in my opinion. But then I'm just an old wino what would I know lol.
For when a red wine is called for I go all out with a burgandy. Especially for the sauces which is usually where my recipes call for wine or vinegar. Of course now that I'm in recovery I always use vinegar instead of wine. But that's because I have trouble with alcohol.

I'm with tk on the burgundy. I use Carlo Rossi because it's just a few bucks for a 1 and 1/2 liter bottle. Ask at the liquor store for a pale dry sherry, they're excellent white wines for cooking with mushrooms and other very delicate flavors. Another to use on some occasions is a marsala wine...it has a flavor that is unique among wines, and intense. I make Chicken Marsala with browned chicken breasts or thighs, sliced mushrooms and garlic, served on linguini. It is very Italian and very different tasting, worth trying!
