[Sca-cooks] Removing the wine from Cmpost

[Susan Fox]

If you can get verjus, try that.  Sold as "sour grape juice" by Sadaf 
and other Middle Eastern grocery brands.  I'm using it a lot these days 
for a tangy hit on salad, that is not vinegary.

You might also think about taking a really dry wine and boiling it off 
by about half, and see if you like that.

Question, do these people use vanilla or any of the other flovored extracts?  Personal note on such.  I used to work seismic boats in the Gulf of Mexico.  One day upon coming on the boat I was sitting in the galley taking to my fellow geophysicist.  He said "Well I know I'm back on the boat, because the cook's farts always smell like cakes."  The cook on the boat used to buy vanilla in gallon jugs and, as it was 50% alcohol, he used to drink it.  Hence the off gassing.

I'm fairly good at replacing one thing with another most of the time but I can't seem to think of what to replace the wine with and still have it taste correct. Was thinking of just a mix of really good wine vinegar softened with grape juice but it sounds like it would be too sweet. So before I ruin too much veg in my search I thought I'd ask, anyone know a good replacement for wine in this recipe?
