First reply is good–esp. considering your recipe. Generally speaking, any white table wine should work fine, even the ones with a screw cap and no vintage (esp. the ones with a screw cap and no vintage!). Concha y Toro chardonnay blends would work very well for this, and typically under $ 5 per bottle.

Citra Trebianno or Bolla Soave

Rene Junot or George DuBeuof make good cheap white wine, about 8 dollars for 1.5 liters. Both are inexpensive white wines. Yet each wine maker uses grapes that give the wine body.

don’t skimp on cheap wine for cooking, but the type you like and can afford

I’d skip the chardonnay on this one and go with maybe a sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio/gris. Don’t spend more than five bucks on it. Because if you’re not going to drink it or use it all, it’ll go bad within a week, and you’re only out $ 5.
Happy cooking!

if you’re going to be cooking with it and not drinking it then use any table wine. these are blends of different grapes and are often less expensive than a pinot grigio or chardonnay , etc. the essence of the flavor of the wine will merry with your food as it cooks and you really won’t be able to distinguish it from other finer wines. save your $ for the wine you will serve with the meal. some names are l’periaye (sp?), kressman and often they are screw-tops and the label says ‘white wine’ .

Here is the rule of thumb that I use when cooking with wine. If I wouldn’t drink it, I won’t cook with it. Taste is taste. Right? Happy cooking!
