How people cook with it
Red wine is a versatile ingredient in the kitchen, adding depth and richness to a variety of dishes. It can also be enjoyed on its own.
- Sauces and reductions
- Marinades for meats

- Deglazing pans
When cooking, red wine can be used to deglaze pans after searing meats, capturing the flavorful browned bits. It is also a key component in many braising liquids, tenderizing tougher cuts of meat and infusing them with flavor.
