But if a recipe has wine in it can i use wine vinegar instead? Or is there something else i can use in place of the wine thanks

Generally stock will take the place of wine.

You can use orange juice instead of wine

I can just imagine coq au orange.

You can use a very small amount of vinegar if you have no wine. It will taste different though. Don't substitute the full amount of wine in a recipe with vinegar though - it would ruin it.

OP, there are no stupid questions only stupid answers, for if someone laughs at you instead of answering you, you do not come away from the experience any the wiser!

Why do you want to replace the wine? I'd replace with a mix of wine vinegar and stock rather than straight wine vinegar which would probably be too acidic

That is what I said above - use a little vinegar but do not replace by volume.
You all (me included) do not know the background of OP.
Often a whiff of wine in a sauce will kick start another bout of alcoholism in someone who tries hard not to drink - not saying that is the case here, do not mis-understand me - it could have been that OP simply had no wine in the house.
However that has been the question many times over here.

If it's a woman in the house with no wine it's because she drank it.

Is it really such a problem to put some thought into a question in order to come up with a suitable response?

Not true at all was gonna, I don't keep a drop of anything alcoholic in the house, the slightest wiff used to make me feel awfully ill and it's only because of a medical condition, so how rude! Some of us are tee total by choice.

It would depend if a savoury or sweet recipe.
Don't think I would put stock in a cake recipe, but would use fruit juice.

Ok i am planning to make Dixie chicken but can't have alcohol due to my health issues & have a recovering alcoholic so don't really want him around alcohol. I am not the best in the kitchen hence asking. My sister suggested today that i use grape juice as it is similar to wine
Thanks for the idea of using stock in a cake now i can't stop giggling lol

Good that you came back to clarify - as you could see some posters were not aware of the "recovering alcoholic" problem and wondered if I was "overthinking" the question.
I have seen similar questions on here before hence my answer. Just a little bit of vinegar and some stock and you should be fine. Do not use grape juice as apparently it can also start people back onto alcohol dependency.
All the best. And there is never a "stupid question" really.

That grape juice would be good in dixie chicken. It does need that flavor.
