Whether it\u2019s a Christmas dinner, a Sunday lunch or a midweek roast, some meals are simply incomplete without a <\/span>red wine gravy<\/b>. Thick, smooth and full in flavour, there\u2019s nothing quite like a good gravy. Of course, not all gravy recipes call for red wine – but we\u2019re serious wine lovers, so ours does! Read on for the best red wine gravy<\/strong> recipe you\u2019ll ever try!<\/span><\/p>\n First things first, though… <\/p>\n When selecting a red wine for gravy, we like something full-bodied and full-flavoured. We don\u2019t want it to overpower the gravy, necessarily, but we want to know that it\u2019s there! Think along the lines of a Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, <\/span>Malbec<\/span><\/a> or Shiraz. You can\u2019t go wrong with a <\/span>Bordeaux blend<\/b><\/a>, particularly if it doesn\u2019t carry the Bordeaux price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n Enate Cabernet Merlot 2013<\/b><\/a>. It looks the part with its dark red colour, has interesting flavours and aromas like blackberry, blackcurrant and herbs, and it\u2019s got a nice full body. In short: a great gravy wine!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Any full-bodied dry red wine will work for your red wine gravy. For those of you tempted to cheap out and grab a little bottle of supermarket cooking wine, take heed: <\/span>If you wouldn\u2019t drink it, you really shouldn\u2019t cook with it! <\/b>We don\u2019t necessarily advocate making your gravy from a bottle of <\/span>Ch\u00e2teau Margaux<\/b><\/a>, but don\u2019t be afraid to spend over \u20ac5 anyway!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With the wine sorted, it\u2019s time to gather the rest of your ingredients. You may find recipes that call for onions, basted chicken juices and other bits and pieces. For us, simplicity is a beautiful thing. What our recipe may lack in complexity, it more than makes up for in flavour!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We said we like to keep it simple, right? That\u2019s the case here, too. Follow these simple steps and you\u2019ll be slurping up some delicious red wine gravy in no time!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The above recipe won\u2019t let you down, and the wine is a solid choice. If you want to make your red wine gravy better, you can always upgrade your wine choice a little. There\u2019s a fine line between spending too little and too much, but if money’s no object then why not trade up a little. For the fine red wine gravy experience, we\u2019ve got just the thing!<\/span><\/p>\n Cullen Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2000<\/b><\/a>. From Australia\u2019s Margaret River, this one is a real step up from our earlier choice. Again it\u2019s a Bordeaux blend. It\u2019s not cheap, but look for a <\/span>Bordeaux wine<\/b><\/a> from 2000 and you\u2019ll pay a hell of a lot more. Treat yourself!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n Your best bet is to pair your gravy with a glass of the wine you used to cook it. It\u2019s convenient, it means you won\u2019t waste wine, and you know it\u2019ll be a good match!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [cta_generico id=2600]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whether it\u2019s a Christmas dinner, a Sunday lunch or a midweek roast, some meals are simply incomplete without a red wine gravy.
