Pour in 1/2 cup of white wine.

Add 1 1/2 tbsp of white wine vinegar to the pot.

Cook the mixture over low medium heat until it reduces to 2-3 tablespoons.

Cut 8 oz of unsalted butter into pieces and chill it in the freezer.

Add half of the butter to the pot while whisking constantly.

Once the first half of the butter is emulsified, add the remaining butter and continue whisking.

Remove from heat and whisk on a heat-safe surface to thicken slightly.

Season with salt to taste.

Optionally strain the sauce for a smoother consistency.
