Red wine (liquid)

Red wine is made by fermenting dark grape varieties with their skins, giving it its characteristic colour, tannins, and depth of flavour. In cooking, it is used in braises, sauces, and marinades, particularly with red meats, where its acidity and tannins add complexity as it reduces. Its flavour becomes more concentrated as it is cooked down, so the quality of the wine used affects the final dish.

As a free-flowing liquid, this ingredient fills a measuring cup with no trapped air pockets, so its weight is close to a straightforward density calculation.
