Why is red cooking wine added at the beginning of cooking?

Adding red cooking wine early allows the alcohol to cook away while the fruit, acidity and savoury notes become concentrated, creating a richer, more balanced flavour throughout the dish.

Which ingredients pair particularly well with red cooking wine?

Red cooking wine works especially well with beef, lamb, venison, mushrooms, onions, garlic, tomatoes and fresh herbs such as thyme and rosemary. These combinations create the foundation of many classic European recipes.

Can red cooking wine be used to make pan sauces?

Yes. After cooking meat, red cooking wine is ideal for deglazing the pan, lifting the caramelised cooking juices before reducing with stock and butter to create a smooth, flavourful sauce.
