Is Food Cooked With Wine Halal?

Answered by Halal Monitoring Services Updated

HMS Answer

NO

Food should not be prepared with wine as an ingredient, and heating wine does not make using wine in a recipe the appropriate Halal choice.

The full answer

Food should not be prepared with wine as an ingredient.

Heating wine does not make using wine in a recipe the appropriate Halal choice.

This matters with pasta sauces, risotto, desserts, reductions and many restaurant dishes.

Ask whether wine, sherry, sake or other alcoholic beverages were deliberately used.
