Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Tuna works really well with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. One wine you could try is Two Vines Columbia Valley Merlot. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 7 dollars.
