Substitute For Chardonnay

If you don't have Chardonnay, here are some reasonable substitutes:

• Each wine has a very specific flavor profile.  If you are looking for another dry white wine for drinking you may want to try a good Sauvignon Blanc.
• If you want a substitute for Chardonnay in cooking, again Sauvignon Blanc will work well.
• If you want a non-alcohol substitute for Chardonnay then you can use equal amounts of water, chicken broth, white wine grape juice, or apple cider.  See more non-alcohol substitutes here.
