Red Wine Pot Roast is the perfect dish if you are looking for an easy-to-make Christmas main dish and a melt-in-your-mouth pot roast recipe. On the side, you can add my fluffy mashed potatoes and Christmas Salad dishes which will make for the perfect meal. It’s also an elegant dish to serve your guests for any occasion.

What is the best wine to use for pot roast?

Always use a wine you are happy to drink in your cooking. If you don’t like drinking the wine, you won’t like it in a dish either. This is especially important for this particular recipe because the most prominent ingredient is wine. This recipe recommends dry red wine; do not use sweet wine. Look for Cabernet, Merlot, or a red wine blend. Choose the dry red wine you like; it depends on your preference.

What to serve with red wine pot roast?

I highly recommend a puree. It can be mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes or chunky mashed spuds if you like texture. In addition, it goes perfectly with roasted veggies or fresh bread. On the side include a green salad or my special Christmas Salad.
