When Chefs make risotto they do not usually add any cream if it's classic risotto which is made without cream.

But if you want to add cream to your risotto at home when you make it you certainly can and it makes it taste better but when you have risotto served to you that is already made it usually won't contain any cream unless you specify you want cream in your risotto.

Also if you don't have wine or don't want to use wine in your risotto you can use lemon juice and chicken broth as a wine substitute for your risotto.

Although risotto is most commonly made with wine you don't have to use wine to make risotto if you don't like the taste of wine or don't have any wine.

I don't like wine either for cooking or drinking so I don't use wine when I make my risotto.

When I make my risotto I don't use wine but instead I use the substitute for wine in risotto which is chicken broth mixed with a few drops of lime juice.

Just take some chicken broth and mix a few drops or so of lemon juice and you'll have a good substitute for wine in risotto.

I think the risotto in my opinion tastes better with the chicken broth and lemon juice but some people prefer to have the wine in their risotto if that's what they like.
