1. There should be no alcohol in the ingredient list. Really good cooking wine only contains "yellow rice wine" or "water, grain (such as rice and glutinous rice), edible salt and spices", without alcohol, essence and various additives; If there are words such as alcohol and pigment in the ingredients list, there is no yellow wine or various food ingredients, all of them are prepared cooking wine, which is the "fake cooking wine" that many people are eating.

2. The alcohol content should be lower than 10, the alcohol content of yellow rice wine is generally around 15, and the real cooking wine is mainly yellow rice wine, so the alcohol content should be between 10 and 15; Cooking wine below 10 is not recommended.

3. Beware of the "no addition" pit of merchants. Some merchants advertise "preservative-free" on wine bottles, and people will mistake it for "cooking wine without additives", but if you look carefully at the ingredient list, you will find that it contains "caramel color", which belongs to colored food additives, and cooking wine with colorants cannot be regarded as "without additives".

Cooking wine is a kind of wine developed on the basis of yellow rice wine, which is specially used for cooking and seasoning. Real cooking wine is made from yellow rice wine with some spices or seasonings. Yellow rice wine itself is made of whole grains such as glutinous rice or millet.

Judging from its composition, it has no harm to human body. At the same time, the grains are rich in ingredients and contain amino acids. When cooking meat ingredients, adding cooking wine will generate amino acid salts, thus achieving the purpose of removing fishy smell and extracting fresh ingredients.
