Rice Wine vs White Wine

[Cupcake]

Can i use rice wine as a substitute for white wine when cooking a garlic cream sauce?

Thanks in advance

hmmm, i guess you could, but i wouldn't. In some recipes i would say no prob, but a lot of the flavour of the garlic cream sauce would come from the wine, so if it was me, i'd use a yummy white wine.
I guess if you love the taste of rice wine it wouldn't be an issue.

Not a big wine drinker haha, could you recommend any white wines i could use?

Well i would probably use a wine i wanted to drink so i could have the rest of the bottle with dinner. So, your best bet would be to ask your local wine merchant. You don't need to spend a lot to get a good wine, but having someone who knows their products is helpful.

I would probably go for a sauvignon blanc. but you might prefer something a little sweeter.
