Sustitutos y Proporciones de Burgundy Wine

| Sustituto | Proporción | Mejor para |
|---|---|---|
| Pinot Noir (New World) Mejor | 1:1 | For red Burgundy in cooking, especially stews or sauces, a good quality New World Pinot Noir offers similar fruit and acidity without the higher cost. |
| Chardonnay (unoaked) | 1:1 | For white Burgundy in recipes, an unoaked Chardonnay can replicate the crisp acidity and subtle fruit notes without the oak influence found in many New World Chardonnays. |
| Beaujolais | 1:1 | For a lighter red wine option in cooking or drinking that shares some regional proximity and fruitiness, Beaujolais (made from Gamay) can be a suitable, often more affordable, alternative. |
| Dry Vermouth | 1:1 | As a last resort for cooking, dry vermouth can provide acidity and herbaceous notes in sauces, though it lacks the fruit depth of true Burgundy wine. |
