I am making chicken soup in my crock pot. There is 1/4c. of red wine in the recipe. The soup will be cooked on high for 3-4 hours. Will most of the wine "cook out" of the soup, leaving only the flavor? The reason is asking is I want to make sure it would be safe to feed to my 15 month old.
Thanks!

I ended up not giving the dish to her. I just didn't want to risk it! The wine smell was SOO strong!
Thanks for all your help!

Crock pot cooking is different, so I am not sure if the same evaporation of alcohol applies. The most evapotation of alcohol occurs in long cooking, uncovered on top of the stove, a slow simmering dish. Crock pot is sealed, slow cooking.

The alcohol in the wine evaporates at high temperature, which will only leave the richness and flavor enhanced by the wine. Have you considered trying a white wine instead of a red?

No, rice wine is sake and just about as opposite of Burgundy as could be. You could use some extra dry sherry or some mirin. Apple juice doesn't sound horrible. If that's all you have why not give it a whirl. Sake is almost everywhere so if you have a few minutes to get to the store it would be worth it.

Alcohol burns off during cooking. It should be fine.
