wine marinade

Tenderizing alcohol bath

A wine marinade is a liquid mixture using wine as its base, in which food—typically meat—is soaked before cooking to tenderize it and add flavor.

The acid in wine breaks down tough fibers while infusing the food with the wine's character.

Red wine marinades suit beef and lamb; white wine works better with chicken and fish: Let the steak sit in the wine marinade overnight.
