Beef Bourguignon comes from Bourgogne, a French region really famous for its wine and ox breeding. Beef Bourguignon is originally made with red wine from Bourgogne; but to be honest you can use any red wine you want, it doesn’t matter. If you find a good Bourgogne, I suggest you to drink it while eating your Beef Bourguignon rather than using it for the dish. I usually keep corked red wine and use it then for stews or tomato sauce. I love cooking with white and red wine. You might want to have a look at the braised carrot beef stew as well!
