> In cooked dishes with wine and other alcoholic beverages, the alcohol cooks out. Thus, the flavor of the drink is part of the recipe, without the alcohol in there; you shouldn't be able to get drunk. That's why it's not illegal for children in a restaurant to order beer-battered chicken or salmon ravioli in a pink vodka sauce. Note that it must be cooked, though; some cold desserts contain alcohol.

In addition to the flavor, wine also contains some sodium. When cooking with wine, you don't need to add salt.
