SC - Cherries and wine

[Nick Sasso (fra niccolo)]

  Ok, for those of us who can't / don't partake, what is a good juice 
  to substitute for wine if you are cooking cherries?  Would white 
  grape juice work?

There was some discussion of ths a few months ago.  The conclusion I walked
away with at the time was as follows:

There are three flavors in wine that are key: the fruit flavors from the
grape, the astringency of the alcohol, and the reduced sugar.   I suspect
that you could get a close approximation with white grape juice, and a
little wine vinegar for sharpness.

Of course, there are alcohol free wines available now, if you are willing to
make the expense.
