There was a study conducted in the early 1990's at one of the universities
in the state of Washington that disproved this. The study found that
depending on how the food was prepared, 20 - 85% of the alcohol is retained
in foods prepared with various alcoholic liquids. I can't find my file copy
of it, but it was published in the Journal of the American Dietetic
Association. At one time the US Department of Agriculture published a table
that showed how much alcohol remains in stews, sauces, etc., containing
ingredients such as wine and brandy.
Hope this helps.
