Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, Malbec

Stew works really well with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, and Malbec. Full-bodied red wines like malbec and cabernet sauvignon are the perfect accompaniment for beef stew. Fish stew probably calls for a white wine, such as chablis. The Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
