Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Beaujolais

French Onion Soup works really well with Pinot Grigio and Beaujolais. A fruity Beaujolais will complement this soup's rich flavors. If you prefer white wine, try a pinot grigio. The Proverb Pinot Grigio Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
