Those two are my favorite beer and wine (as of now). I've never used alcohol in cooking. I've never cooked much to be precise. I haven't seen Smitha use alcohol when she cooks either. But from a taste perspective, those two would be very good. I don't know how that would affect the taste of the resulting food.

I want to experiment with preparing Beer curry soup and want to cook Wine Flavored Fried Rice. As my knowledge of beer and Wine is close to nothing. I throw this question to CPians who are expert in beer and wine. What kind of beer (brand) will make a good beer soup? (As per Shog, I should use Killians but other suggestions are also welcome) What kind of wine will be good for flavoring fried rice?
Beer-> something hoppy, like Sam Adams - or like Shog said. Forget the Bud Light - it's like trying to make love in a canoe, as the joke goes. Wine-> for fried rice? I would think a white, maybe a Riesling or Gewurtztraminer, something with a bit of zest.

It's the only American beer that didn't temporarily make me feel as if I was 7 years old and was being forced to gulp down awful tasting cough syrup.

Beer: something strong Wine: something cheap, dry Beer is hard to recommend - I know only some local brands. Somethign with a strong hops taste As for wine - depends on the "direction of addenda". If you go towards fish / seafood, white and dry. Chicken and similar goes with both, dark meat with red. If you use a strong rice (like "wild" rice), use white wine.

Ah... you should try some better ones. My current favorites: Rogue American Amber[^] Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale[^] The first is fairly light and refreshing, great for relaxing on a hot day; the second is heavier and sweet - a good breakfast beer. Not that i drink at breakfast... :~ ;)

For beer something with a nice strong full flavor. Forget any light domestic beers. A nice ale would be good. Wine Flavored Fried Rice. I'd assume that you'd want a Mirin[^] or a Sake[^]. It would be really strange to have that with a grape wine. The recipe should specify rice wine. Also don't skimp out on the quality of the soy sauce it makes a big difference.

Thanks, I'll see if they are available here and give them a try. I am not much of a beer guy, and nowadays I don't drink much. But last week, at a friend's place we had Glenfiddich and it was awesome :-)

Sake is widely referred to in English as "rice wine". However, this designation is not accurate. The production of alcoholic beverages by multiple fermentation is more characteristic of beer than wine.
So I believe any other rice beer will also work well.

Yeah if you want to get pedantic about it then I suppose. However then end product has much more in common with wine then it does with beer. Sake doesn't have any CO2 for example, and it has much more of a wine like flavor then a beer like flavor. Also, Budweiser is made from rice, so that really deserves the moniker rice beer.
