What are red wine brownies?
Red wine brownies are simply brownies made with red wine. They have a subtle red wine flavoring to them that pairs well with the deep chocolate flavors. You can either make them homemade or use a box brownie mix and swap in red wine for the water as we’ll do in this recipe.
As you know, I like to keep my desserts simple. So there’s no shame in my box brownie mix game! Plus, if you need a gluten-free option, using a gluten-free brownie mix is perfect for these red wine brownies! No complicated ingredient swaps.
What type of red wine goes well with red wine brownies?
Because the brownie mix is already fairly sweet, using a dry red wine is optimal. For this recipe, I’m featuring a medium-bodied Chambourcin from Stone Hill Winery. This dry red wine presents fruity and earthy tones, which pairs perfectly with the chocolate in the brownie mix.
- Choose a dry to red wine
- Avoid overly sweet red wines
- Avoid bubbly red wines
