I don't know why you would avoid food made with wine in the cooking process. Substantially all (yes I know there are traces left) of the alcohol has cooked out. You can't get drunk off coq au vin or chicken marsala.
No, it's been proven that alcohol doesn't cook completely out. And I don't want the taste to trigger me. That's why I avoid it. Does that answer satisfy you?
