There is no rule against using white wine in a dish that you pair with reds.

Thespis, considered to be the first actor, used white lead and wine to paint his face.

Pour over the wine, or some water if you're not using wine, and bring to a simmer.

You can use water, wine or broth, or any combination of these.

Here are my favorite ways to use wine in light cooking:

Try using fruit juices or wine instead of water.

The Mississippi variation uses red wine in the place of coffee.

Using wine as a sauteing agent is one way to cut down on fat.

Sometimes the fire is put off using wine in the morning.

Please read the release notes, and see if a more applicable solution would not be to use wine.
