Seventh Year Wine in Cake

Question

Is it permissible to add wine to a cake to give it flavor?

Answer

It is permissible to add wine to a cake or dish when it imparts flavor, but if its flavor is not discernible, there is room for doubt, and it seems permissible even if the flavor is not discernible.
