SC - Sauce question - subbing for wine

[Jeff Gedney]

I have family that are VERY Christian (and recovering abusers to 
boot) and they and their kids won't eat anything with alcohol as 
an ingredient, regardless of how much the stuff was boiled.

One answer I have found is freeze dried wine powder, which is 
available from some spicers. They don't retain _all_ the flavors of 
the alchoholic version, but will work for most sauces and marinades.
and there is no possibility of hitting any SCA or mundane 
ingredient restrictions

I believe that < http://www.spicesetc.com >  offers these.
I use the sherry powder myself, in preference to cooking 
sherry and I have no complaints. 
And it keeps much better than the good stuff. It'll keep fine for 
a year or more.
