Make sure your pheasant is well hung - they taste best that way...

On the alcohol side, you can get wine-replacement stuff which does just as well, which is a mixture of grape juice and red/wine grape vinegar. It's non-alcoholic, and unlike wine it can sit in a cupboard for months without going off (or being drunk either ;-) Have a look down the sauces section in your supermarket - over here it goes under the name "Bistro Chef" IIRC.

Grab.
