Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, Malbec

Stew works really well with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, and Malbec. 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. One wine you could try is Pendulum Cabernet Sauvignon. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.
