I've tried using red wine in stew but it always tastes funny so I just go with beer. I even used a orange beer once and there was a faint orange taste that wasn't bad

I use Blue Moon to braise chicken thighs and squeeze the juice from 2 oranges in it. It's fantastic.

For beef stew with red wine, try adding some soy sauce, a ton of minced garlic, and a bit of sugar. It should taste like a Korean BBQ stew when you're done. The sour flavor from the red wine should get balanced by the salty and sweet, with the garlic to give it a nice aromatic kick.

Oh wow that sounds yummy...I'll definitely try that. I didn't have enough knowledge at the time to think of how I could perfect it so I just went with the beer as my husband and two sons are picky rolls eyes lol but thankyou!!

You have to cook it down first

I know I did it in the crockpot but don't remember if I did cook it down or not. It's been years

Sure you reduce the wine enough to burn off some of the alcohol?
