According to Amy Racine, Beverage Director at JF Restaurants, a low-tannin, concentrated red wine pairs best with BBQ ribs to complement the sweet, tangy sauce.
Racine recommends Grenache-based blends, Zinfandel, and Shiraz for BBQ ribs because their moderately acidic, low tannins enhance the rich flavors of the dish.
The type of rib sauce can significantly influence wine pairing; for instance, a spicy raspberry chipotle glaze will highlight specific notes in a Zinfandel.
Choosing wines like Zinfandel and Shiraz brings out the fruitiness needed to complement both the meat’s richness and the sweet nature of barbecue sauces.
