| Hi all, newbie here. Given that wine is acidic, is it safe to increase the amount of red wine in a tested canning spaghetti sauce recipe and let it cook down? Lets assume we are talking about a medium to full bodied red like a Barbera, Merlot or Cab Sav (El Dorado region of California if it matters...) Thanks, Elson |

| There's no problem with increasing the wine, regardless of variety. Carol |

| The wine isn't a problem, however, the cooking down could be. Density is one of the factors in processing time, so you don't want the sauce too thick. Personally, I like VERY thick sauce, so don't usually can it, I freeze instead. Deanna |

| I'm guessing OP was referring to cooking the wine down to concentrate flavors without adding excess liquid. I do that all the time to add wine to jams. But, consistency is something to remember! |

| You might take a look at Ellie Topp's chunky basil pasta sauce recipe which contains a good measure of wine. There are several threads here discussing it. Carol |
