Recommended wine: Rioja, Shiraz, Zweigelt

Goulash on the menu? Try pairing with Rioja, Shiraz, and Zweigelt. While a Hungarian red wine would be fitting, we recommended a few easier-to-find red wines that will work nicely too. The La Riojan Alta Vinan Arana Rioja Reserva with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 29 dollars per bottle.
