5 Steps to Make Rich Dark Chocolate Wine Brownies for Wine Day

By Deepali Verma

Pick a Full-Bodied Red Wine

Use a dry red wine with full-bodied notes—such as plum or cherry. You will need ½ cup to add depth of richness to the chocolate.

Melt Chocolate and Butter

Melt ½ cup of unsalted butter and 170 grams dark chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Heat until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly.

Mix Wet Ingredients

Whisk together 2 eggs, ¾ cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and your red wine. Blend till the mixture becomes silky and color deep.

Add Dry Ingredients

Fold in ½ cup flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until just combined, then stir in the melted chocolate mixture.

Bake and Cool

Pour into a lined 8x8-inch pan. Bake at 175°C for 25–30 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool before cutting. Dust with cocoa or sea salt as a final touch.
