I’d have never thought to use wine in bread, but after spotting a loaf of wine bread I knew I would have to give it a try. I’m not sure this would work so well with white wine, but the red wine bread was a complete win at our house. This is the perfect solution for left over red wine. Ha, ha, ha, left over wine, who am I kidding, right?
By the way, you’ll never run out of wine when you have a little California Wine Club in your life. THIS is a monthly subscription that I can stand behind. Each and every month a box of wine magically appears on your doorstep, the prices are excellent AND you didn’t have to go to the store. Win, win, win!
What I love about this bread it that it only takes flour, sugar, baking powder and red wine. Mix, knead for a couple minutes, shape into a loaf shape and bake for 30ish minutes. Be prepared for how delicious the house smells as it’s baking.
It was surprisingly easy to make this bread and I really loved how it turned out. It is delicious right out of the oven.Well, let it cool a few minutes, slice, spread with some butter and enjoy.
Think of all the other delicious treats you can make with this bread. There is a red wine french toast that I have coming up on the blog soon. Plus, I think it would make a great Gouda and tomato grilled sandwich. I also want to try it with bruschetta.
What would you make with this red wine bread?

What kind of flour do you use for the wine bread? All purpose, self rising??
