Anchorbird I totally understand I got a sauce in a pot ( thankfully) alongside my steak, I dunked a chip and put it in my mouth and taste wine. Nearly spat it out just on reflex. Felt a bit annoyed as if I was being sabotaged, which was daft, but it is how I felt. I just left the rest of the sauce. But don't consider it as jeapordising my sobriety. I am ultra aware now though. FYI, there are some great alternatives to alcohol in cooking, Dee put a link up for me once when I queries how much alcohol evapourates in cooking - not near as much as you think !!
