Recommended wine: Zinfandel, Rose Wine

Barbecue can be paired with Zinfandel and rosé Wine. A rosé is refreshing in hot temperatures and complements sweet and spicy sauces and rubs. Zinfandel is a classic red wine choice for barbecue, especially for pork ribs and beef brisket. You could try Martinelli Vigneto di Evo Zinfandel. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 36 dollars per bottle.
