“I like to put German wine in my cooking on an add hock basis”

“Hock” is a British term for German white wine. Some puns have “add hock” instead of “ad hoc.”

Wikipedia: Hock (wine)
Hock is a British term for German white wine; sometimes it refers to white wine from the Rhine region (specifically Riesling) and sometimes to all German white wine.
 
It is short for the obsolete word “hockamore”, which is an alteration of “Hochheimer”, derived from the name of the town of Hochheim am Main in Germany.
 
The term seems to have been in use in the 17th century, initially for white wines (predominantly Riesling) from the Rheingau, but in the 18th century it came to be used for any German white wine sold in Britain to convey some of the then very high prestige of Rheingau wine to (often much) lesser German wines.

I’ve got a soup recipe. “Just add some German wine” it says. That’s a bit too ‘add hock’ for my liking.

In fact when I put German wine in my cooking I always do so on an add Hock basis.
