Equipment

Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, Malbec

Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, and Malbec are my top picks for Stew. 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. You could try Perez Cruz Pircas de Liguai Single Collection Cabernet Sauvignon. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 45 dollars per bottle.

Perez Cruz Pircas de Liguai Single Collection Cabernet Sauvignon
The Pircas de Liguai Single Collection Cabernet Sauvignon has a predominantly fruity character and intensity with spiciness, freshness and elegance. Ripe red fruit, black pepper and classic herbal qualities ensure the wine is complex and continues to develop in the glass. Full bodied but always fresh on the palate with well-rounded tannins and a nice grip.
