10 Best Types of Red Wine by General Popularity

With so many red wines available, it’s hard to decide which red wine is the absolute best for everyone. The best red wine for you may not be the best red wine for someone with a different preference. We've narrowed down the field to ten exceptional red wine choices, including well-known favorites and lesser-known hidden gems.


1. Cabernet Sauvignon

Bold and full-bodied, known for its dark fruit flavors like black currant and cassis, often with hints of cedar and tobacco. Oak aging adds complexity. Pairs exceptionally well with grilled steak, lamb chops, and rich pasta dishes. Shop Cabernet Sauvignon wines.


2. Merlot


Smooth and approachable, offering flavors of plum, cherry, and sometimes chocolate. Its softer tannins make it a versatile choice. Pairs well with beef bourguignon, roasted duck, and hearty mushroom dishes. Shop Merlot wines.


3. Pinot Noir


Elegant and light to medium-bodied, characterized by red fruit flavors like cherry and raspberry, often with earthy undertones. Its delicate nature compliments salmon, roasted chicken, and soft cheeses. Shop Pinot Noir wines.


4. Syrah / Shiraz


Spicy and robust, with flavors of black pepper, dark fruits, and often a peppery character. Pairs well with grilled lamb, hearty stews, and strong-flavored cheeses like blue cheese. Shop Syrah/Shiraz wines.


5. Malbec


Juicy and fruit-forward, typically with flavors of plum, blackberry, and violet. Its vibrant acidity makes it a versatile pairing. Enjoy with grilled meats, hearty stews, or even spicy dishes. Shop Malbec wines.


6. Sangiovese


The heart of Chianti, known for its bright acidity and cherry flavors. Pairs exceptionally well with Italian cuisine, such as pizza, pasta with tomato sauce, and grilled vegetables. Shop Sangiovese wines.


7. Tempranillo


Versatile grape producing wines ranging from light and fruity to bold and complex. Its flavors often include red berries and spice. Pairs well with tapas, grilled pork, and Manchego cheese. Shop Tempranillo wines.


8. Grenache / Garnacha

Often blended, offering red berry flavors, spice, and sometimes floral notes. Its soft tannins make it food-friendly. Pairs well with tapas, grilled chicken, and spicy chorizo. Shop Grenache / Garnacha wines.


9. Zinfandel


Can range from light and fruity, to bold and jammy, with flavors of black cherry and raspberry. Pairs well with grilled salmon, BBQ ribs, and spicy Asian cuisine. Shop Zinfandel wines.


10. Carignan


Often blended, offering rustic, earthy wines with red berry and spice flavors. Its bold character complements hearty dishes like cassoulet, roasted game, and strong-flavored cheeses. Shop Carignan wines.

Best Red Wine to Pair With Your Food Choices

The beauty of red wine is its versatility. While specific pairings can elevate a meal, there are some general guidelines:


Red Wine and Red Meat

This is a classic combination. The bold tannins in red wine cut through the richness of red meat, creating a harmonious balance.


  • Full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Malbec pair well with grilled steaks, lamb chops, and hearty stews.

Red Wine and Poultry


Don't be afraid to pair red wine with poultry. The key is to choose a lighter-bodied red.


  • Medium-bodied reds like Pinot Noir and Merlot complement roasted chicken, duck, and turkey.

Red Wine and Fish


While often associated with white wine, certain red wines can enhance seafood dishes.


  • Light-bodied reds with high acidity, such as Pinot Noir, can pair well with salmon, tuna, and even some shellfish.

Red Wine and Cheese


A perfect match for any wine lover!


  • Full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon pair well with strong, aged cheeses like cheddar and blue cheese.

  • Medium-bodied reds like Merlot complement a wider range of cheeses, from Brie to Gouda.

Red Wine and Pasta


Pasta dishes can be a challenge, but it's possible to find the right red wine.


  • Light to medium-bodied reds like Pinot Noir or Sangiovese pair well with tomato-based sauces.

  • Full-bodied reds can handle richer pasta dishes with cream or cheese sauces.

Remember: These are general guidelines. The best way to find your perfect pairing is to experiment and discover your own preferences.
