I have no idea since I don't ever drink, I only bought the wine for cooking!
Always use wine that you would drink for cooking-
Chardonnay is fine. A lot of so-called "Cooking wine" is stuff that is beginning to turn. It's like using slightly rancid chicken in the recipe. The commercial "Cooking wines" are usually loaded with salt- and they will completely screw up the recipe.
It's amazing the number of people who would spend 25 bucks for Lobster Tails and then cheap out and use spoiled wine for the sauce.
