I've bought the smaller bottles of wine specifically for cooking. This
way I get to try the wine out first before I buy a larger bottle of it.
I did this when I made bruschetta in a jar - very pretty & tasty
too! It called for 375 ml dry white wine. I prefer a sweeter wine
myself. I managed to find a dry white wine in that exact size just
perfect for the recipe. What I would love to see is 1/2 bottle sized
beer. I use beer a fair amount in cooking. Most times the dish uses
125 ml or less so it seems a shame to waste a whole beer for that
amount. BTW a dry sherry is nice to cook with too.
