Alcohol in food question

This may be dumb. I'm only seconding guessing this based on the books that I've read and make me go..."huh???"

I want to make a port wine reduction for dinner tonight and one of the two books I read, Week by Week or the Mayo Clinic (can't remember which one) said that alcohol in food is fine if it's been cooked for over and hour. From all of my experience with cooking and friends that are chefs, the alcohol cooks out of foods really quickly. I've cooked with wines for sauces and risottos for years and have never had an issue with it tasting alcohol like, as in it wasn't cooked out.

Any advice? I really love this sauce I make but am now wondering what is what. I feel very sure about my knowledge but then of course I'm scared of screwing things up for this kid in me hence this post.

Thanks!

    The alcohol will be cooked out and it's such a small amount anyway! Don't worry about it, eat your delicious sauce!!

    My doctor allows me a glass of red wine a day (though, I am too chicken to do it except for special occasions) I would not even worry about anything cooked with alcohol! It's not like your pouring shots of Jack in it, yuk!! You're safe! :-)

    I've been craving risotto all day! Am going to teach DH my recipe on Sunday so he can make it for me in weeks/months to come when I'm not feeling up to the cooking part. Love love love risotto bc you can throw anything you want into it and change it up, but always so creamy and yummy...Stick out tongue

    Yum.  Love risotto.  I also love leftover risotto turned into arancini.  Little cube of cheese in the middle that turns into oozy-melty goodness when you cook them.  If I wasn't already full, I would be hungry.
