is wine alright in food for 16 month old?

[weebump]

I've just made a chicken chasseur (yum) with a splash of white wine in it, and plan to serve up for us all at dinner. One of us is only 16 months old. Surely a splash of wine is ok if it's been cooked for over an hour? or am I being BAD?

I wouldn't do it but I was OTT with all mine but I am sure it would be okay as long as it isn't every day! [hic]

It's fine. The heating of wine, burns the alcohol off.

Yeah I do it all the time. The alcohol evaporates so there won't be any left after cooking, but it'll taste yummy!

Of course! All alcohol is quickly burned off by the heat, just leaving the flavour.

there is no alcohol left in the food
it is fine

cheers (so to speak!)

Yes, I used to do it aso. The acohol content is burnt off,, leaving just the favour.

The ony child I don't give such food to is my friend's DD who isn't allowed any alcohol at all due to a medica condition.

Well, no point in worrying really, seeing as she just nibbled on a mushroom, sniffed a bit of chicken and then turned her nose up at it!
