I dunno about your recipe for French Onion Soup, but I definitely use white
wine in mine! (Not red, it drowns out all the subtlety of the onions.) No
almond milk, though. And gratinee is just one way to serve it, though
certainly the most traditional... I've often served it without the cheese,
when I didn't have oven-safe bowls available.
