Recommended wine: Shiraz, Tempranillo, Zinfandel

Beef Brisket can be paired with Shiraz, Tempranillo, and Zinfandel. All these red wines can handle the meaty, smokey flavor of brisket. If you're talking traditional Jewish brisket, you'll want to look for a kosher red wine. The Gilgal Syrah (OK Kosher) with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
