IS THERE A SUBSTITUTE FOR white wine in a recipe?

Um, he is not recovered he is "in recovery" and will be for the rest of his life, or one day at a time.

Thank you so much. Appreciate all answers. Very helpful.

Depending on what you are making, a squeeze of fresh lemon will add a bright note (for example to sauteéd mushrooms). It's what I use when I don't have wine leftover and don't want to open a bottle for a small amount.

I have a terrible reaction to wine so I leave it out and add broth and/or water.

It depends on the recipe, but there are often some fine alternatives.

Water is usually a good replacement unless the primary function of the wine is to add acidity. In that case, diluted vinegar or diluted citrus juice usually acts as a fine substitute for wine.

Best of luck.
