I have made a lovely beef stew, contains a decent amount of red wine. It cooked for 4 hours in the oven. AIBU to let 2 year old DD have some or will it send her 3 sheets to the wind?

I've never seen trouble with this sort of thing and antabuse (a drug which makes you sick if you take alcohol). Accordingly, I'd be prepared to give to a two year old.

Alcohol is flammable so try this experiment to allay your fears, you'll need a match or lighter. Put some red wine in a saucepan and heat it up, when you see vapour coming off light it, it will burn briefly and then go out. It goes out because there is no more alcohol to burn.

Your stew is totally safe to feed to anyone.

Ocado sells 0% alcohol gourmet cooking wine at about £1 a bottle...

If you want to impress your DH get some good quality sausages and braise them in red wine, serve on a bed of rosemary mashed potato.
