But... But... it's the only thing that will actually stay in the pantry
without me drinking it late when night after all the liquor stores are

I usually do have those 4-packs that Janet mentioned. Sutter Home
Burgundy and Chablis. but sometimes they disappear. OTOH, the
salt-fortified cooking wine is much less prone to disappearance. I'd
probably sooner drink mouthwash (which is 44 proof according to the
bottle I have here) than cooking wine.
