Simmer the wine for 2 minutes to cook off the raw alcohol.
Add the vegetables, water, herbs, peppercorns, bay, and lemons.
Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer, and cook 45 minutes.
Strain and cool. Use to poach fish or shellfish.
Jason's Notes
This is the fast broth that keeps poached fish from tasting flat. It should smell like wine, lemon, and vegetables, not like a full stockpot.
