And u have to reduce by 1/3, does it mean boil at high a temperature or just simmer for 10minates? (this is for a red wine sauce for steaks) it never works for me. Also what wine is best?

Yes simmer or cook in a casserole type disk in an oven with the meat BUT at a lower heat and longer time setting. And dont forget to have a bottle of white wine handy for personal refreshment

To reduce by 1/3, means to reduce the volume by 1/3. Therefore, if you are starting with 1 cup of liquid, you simmer until you have 2/3 cup liquid. (The length of time this takes depends on a number of factors and is not critical.)
As for the wine, the rule of thumb is to never cook with wine you wouldn't drink. Any good red table wine can be used.

Either really, usually boiling is better as it's quicker. I don't think there is a best kind of red wine to use but it's worth remembering that if you wouldn't drink it don't cook with it. I often find I need a reduction by 1/2 rather than 1/3.

You can use any Red Wine it does not have to be expensive. You have to bring the sauce to the boil and then simmer until the sauce reduces.
Good luck

Boil it hard to evaporate it, thus reducing it by 1/3. It intensifies the flavour. But worry not about wine. When the alcohol is cooked it will automatically evaporate and you are just left with the wine flavour.

You have to boil it but don't use too high of a temp. Any dry red wine should work. You can also buy cooking wine made especially for that purpose.

Simmer, don't boil. Use a good-quality wine. If you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it.
