Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Tuna can be paired 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. The Albertina Gold Medal Winner Merlot Lorilai's Reserve Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.
