While making Risotto, what is the best alternate for white wine? In case if we r using wine which brand suits?

   Broth is a great substitute, though I would add something else with just a little acidity as well. Maybe a smidge of lemon or vinegar. Just a little though, so you replicate the contribution of the wine that you are omitting. Grape juice is probably too sweet, as a dry white is most likely your best goto wine. I would avoid a Chardonnay.

   If you don’t want to use wine, just use chicken or vegetable broth.
   I use whatever dry white I have in the house.

   If you need to leave the wine out, just use the same amount of broth. Or if you want to use wine, get one of those little 4-packs of little wine bottles from the store. I use a Bella Sera pinot grigio for cooking wine, and the best part is that the 4-pack is only about $5 and doesn’t go to waste by opening a whole bottle just for 1/2 cup.

   You can use white gripe juice, but it adds some sweetness. Other then that there are actual cooking wines that work great for uhh… Cooking haha
