White wine cabbage is made by gently cooking sliced cabbage with white wine until tender. Soften onion in a little oil first if you like, add the cabbage and wine, then simmer uncovered so the liquid reduces and flavors the vegetables.
No, cooking does not guarantee that all the alcohol disappears. The amount left varies with the cooking time and method, so white wine cabbage may not be suitable for someone who must avoid alcohol entirely.
White wine cabbage tastes tender and mildly sweet, with a light tang from the wine. The flavor depends on the cabbage and wine used; a dry, neutral white wine lets the vegetable remain the main taste.
A dry, unoaked white wine is a good choice for white wine cabbage. It adds acidity without making the dish sweet or strongly wine-flavored, and there is no need to use an expensive bottle.
White wine cabbage works well alongside roasted vegetables, potatoes, or a savory main dish. Serve it warm as a side, or spoon it over bread or grains to catch the flavorful cooking liquid.
Yes, you can make white wine cabbage with vegetable stock instead of wine. Add a small splash of lemon juice or vinegar near the end to replace some of the wine’s brightness without making the cabbage taste strongly acidic.
Yes, red cabbage can be used, but it changes the dish’s color and gives it a slightly different flavor and texture. Green or white cabbage is the usual choice for a milder, more classic-looking side.
Yes, white wine cabbage can be cooked ahead and reheated before serving. Cool it promptly, refrigerate it in a covered container, and warm it gently in a pan; add a little water if it seems dry.
Store leftover white wine cabbage in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Refrigerate it promptly rather than leaving it at room temperature, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Yes, white wine cabbage can be frozen, although it may become softer after thawing. Freeze it in airtight, portion-sized containers, thaw it in the refrigerator, and reheat it thoroughly before serving.

White Wine Cabbage is a light side dish of cabbage cooked until tender with white wine. Wine-braised cabbage appears in European cooking, though the seasoning and cooking method vary from one recipe to another.
The cabbage becomes soft, with a gentle tang and aromatic wine notes. Serve it warm alongside roasted vegetables, grains, beans or a main course; it also works well as part of a simple plant-based meal. Cabbage contributes fibre, while the dish is naturally low in fat and light overall. Use just enough wine to lend flavour, and avoid cooking the cabbage for so long that it loses all its texture.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
