Recommended wine: Merlot, Malbec, Zinfandel

Merlot, Malbec, and Zinfandel are great choices for Burger. Merlot will be perfectly adequate for a classic burger with standard toppings. Bolder toppings call for bolder wines, such as a malbec or peppery zinfandel. One wine you could try is Peju Province Merlot. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 38 dollars.

Peju Province Merlot

The 2010 vintage showcases Merlot's stylish and alluring characteristics with vivid flavors of plum and black currant. Hints of anise and vanilla on the nose open up to complex, integrated layers of raspberry, cherry and cocoa flavors that impart a striking impression on the palate.
