Which wine from M&S meal deal is best for cooking with?

Jo4

Can anyone tell me which wine is best to cook with that is in the M&S dine in for 2 meal deal? Neither hubby or I drink alcohol and the only non alcoholic drink they offer which we like is orang juice which is sold out a lot of the time. Therefore what wine would you recommend from the M&S dine in for two meal deal?

Basically, a red wine for red meat like beef or white wine for white meat like chicken etc.

I don't drink either, but frequently buy the meal deal and give the wine away as gifts. Everyone has said they're nice wines, so I'm sure any of them are adequate for cooking.

As above poster said, use red for meatier dishes such as beef and white for chicken or fish.

hi....neither me nor dh drink but i wanted some red wine to perk up a meat dish....on looking at the price of a bottle of red i decided id go for the meal deal and we would almost get the food for free...we have now done this 3 times and the both the 2 bottles iv used have been lovely in the meat dishes....sorry cant remember name (very helpful) but i would say all of them would be nice in your dishes

I use the M&S red wines in spag bol & lots of other beef & lamb dishes.
I've never had one of the offers that wasn't nice.

I think now I need to look for receipes which need wine in them because I have discovered that we have about 4 bottles of wine from buying the dine in meal deals! :eek: :rotfl:
