Marsala

[SweetLover]

Is there a different between Marsala Cooking wine and Marsala wine?
Need to make a sauce for some desserts. Appreciate any contributions.

Same thing.

Well not quite - marsala would be for drinking (better quality), while marsala cooking wine would taste pretty much the same but be a poor quality.
Much like your 75$ red wine and cheapo cooking red wine - basically its the same product (red wine) but the difference in quality dictates the useage.

[expat mom]

Often cooking wines have salt added to make them only suitable for cooking.  They have no age purchase limitation like drinking wine, so the salt is added to keep them from being used as a table wine.  They are also of inferior quality compared to table wines.

Exactly, cooking wine is therefore cheaper and not to forget, the tax is lower....

But I never saw Marsala cooking wine here in Sing only the popular Marsala. If you want to make a desert, you will need the more expensive one without salt...
