"Use real wine when cooking! The rule of thumb is never cook with a wine you wouldn’t be willing to drink. Many recipes call for wine and people use “cooking wine” from a grocery store. Don’t be that person. Use real wine and drink the rest of the bottle with dinner! Also –> makes for a really impressive date night"
I think you got downvoted because you were not polite.
Not because what you tried to say is untrue.
I’m an American and I guarantee I’m a better cook than you.
For what it's worth an american just won a worldwide chef contest on Netflix consisting of the best chefs in the world.
I should point out that he was classically trained in French cuisine.
