It should, yes.
Also, while this is unlikely to appease your friend if you properly heat the wine during deglazing you'll cook off any alcohol. I see non-alcoholic cooking wines as being more useful to alcoholics that don't trust themselves having any booze in the house (though in that case I'd honestly suggest completely avoiding any taste of wine).
You lose as much alcohol as you do water, as they're chemically bound together.
Alcohol doesn't really cook out of a dish.
I'm calling bullshit, I never ever felt any of the effects of alcohol from eating anything cooked with it or as an additive. Secondly by adding energy in the form of heat you are breaking those hydrogen bonds which are mixing and rebonding with carbon and whatever else you cooking.
I'm not disagreeing with the overall idea of your statement, but you likely won't feel the effects of alcohol in food no matter what (jello shots would be an exception, possibly other foods absolutely drenched in alcohol). The amount added to food is so low to begin with your body will process it before you start to feel it, it works more as a flavor and fragrance enhancer.
But you're correct, water and alcohol don't evaporate at the same rate in cooking, you'd have to do some calculations that I'm not about to spend my time doing, to determine by how much. It ain't 1:1, but it also isn't 100:1.
Agreed. It's like worrying you'll fail a drug test because you walked by someone on the street and smelled weed.
