Answer
When a recipe calls for dry, white wine I usually cook with Chardonnay. Very cheap wine will leave your dish tasting stale, but cooking wine needn't be expensive. I buy cooking wine at the supermarket and look for bottles in the $8-10 range. I've found that vintage doesn't really matter, as long as you don't buy the $2.99 special. If I'm making a very delicate sauce, I'll choose a slightly more expensive bottle, in the $13-15 range.
