The Absolute Best Red Wine To Add To Hot Chocolate For A Boozy Kick - Tasting Table
Briefly

"For a red wine hot chocolate, look for a rich red with fruity notes that complement the chocolate. Zinfandel, malbec, or syrah can work well."
"Zinfandels, malbecs, and syrahs all share tasting notes of plum, cherry, berries, and chocolate. They're full bodied and juicy enough to stand up to the richness of hot chocolate."
"A super tannic wine would thus double up on the bitter flavor to the detriment of the drink as a whole, so avoid tannic wines."
