Actually, in our shire, the problem is someone with a familial allergy to both
alcohol and the sulfites normally used in it.  Even if the alcohol did cook
all the way out, she'd still get sick from the sulfites.  So we limit dishes
with alcohol in them, and if it is a one dish thing, like a lunch, either use
a recipe that doesn't call for alcohol, make a small portion without alcohol,
or substitute.  Not because she expects us to, but, at least for me, because I
like her to be able to eat with the rest of us, and she likes period food.

Well what you might need is for some of the vintners in your group to 
make cooking wines. If the don't use campdon tablets or treat their 
wines with other sulfides you can have some more period ingredients 
to add to your feasts. I also am sensitive to sulfides and cannot 
drink any commercial wines and have to be careful about the home brew 
stuff also.
