Cooking with Wine
Cooking with wine is a great way to add flavor to a dish! However, if you’re new to cooking with wine don’t be intimidated! Recipes made with wine can be seriously complicated or super easy. The recipes below range in difficulty and even include a few easy week-night meals made in a crockpot or Instant Pot!
Make sure you’re choosing the right type of wine for your dish though!
A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc, is perfect for lighter dishes such as fish and chicken.
A dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, goes great with heavier dishes such as steak or lasagna. Once you have the right type of wine add a little wine in your glass and a little in the pan to deglaze it or add a few splashes to a sauce or stew.
Or get fancy and try a Tempranillo wine, a dry, full bodied wine that pairs well with Tapas! Learn more Tempranillo wine pairings here.
From dinner to desserts, vegan to meat-eaters wine can be used to enhance almost any type of dish!
Just remember to never cook with wine you wouldn’t drink!
