FAQs

1. Which red wines are the best to drink?
“Best” depends on your palate. Tasting notes, acidity, and the body of wine all play a factor in your preference. If you’re looking for something the critics have praised, try the Brancaia TRE Red Blend, which received 90 Points from Wine Enthusiast. Reasonably priced ($22.99), this Tuscany blend is dominated by Sangiovese with 70 percent, but Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon also bring their charm with 15 percent each.

2. Which red should I drink if I want something sweet?
We’ve got several sweet reds to choose from. For a spiked rich red blend with hints of caramelized orange, try Lolli Sweet Spiked.

3. Can I cook with red wine?
Absolutely! Cooking with red wine enhances the flavors of savory, bold dishes, like marinated steak and beef stew. We recommend using Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, or Merlot when cooking—the acidity of these wines tenderizes meat. When simmered, the alcohol evaporates but leaves all the delicious tasting notes.

4. Do I need a special glass?
It depends on the type of red wine you’re pouring. For a bold red, like Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel, a larger glass with a wide opening is best; this allows the aromas and flavors to breathe (it’s also a great glass for Merlot). For Grenache, a standard red wine glass with a smaller opening is ideal to soften the spice notes, while Pinot Noir is divine in a Burgundy glass, as its larger bowl highlights the wine’s delicate aromas.

5. When do I drink red wine?
Red wine can be enjoyed throughout the year, but we do have some suggestions! Pair the fall season with a fruit-forward, oaky Pinot Noir. Enjoy a full-bodied, rich Cabernet Sauvignon in winter and a Genache with floral and herbal notes in the spring. Come summer, pour a Merlot that has layered notes of ripe berries.
