I have no clue when it comes to wines .. I'm looking for a good red wine that I can use in a beef stew recipe. This recipe will be cooked in a slow cooker/Crock pot. Thanks!!

A burgundy will be fine.

Any inexpensive but good full bodied red wine, like cabernet, shiraz or merlot.
The French have a saying with coq au vin (chicken cooked in red wine) that "the wine in the dish should be as good as the wine in the glass" (ie, don't cook with rubbish wine that you wouldn't drink).

For red wines, I suggest a merlot or something from bordeaux. This is usually not very expensive but have an appealing, almost sweet taste.

In your grocery store they sell Cooking wines, red and white. I wouldn't waste a good bottle of Red wine in a recipe.

Any California cabernet sauvignnon and merlot under $8 or $10 a bottle of your choice.

You can get a decent Merlot at a reasonable price that is good enough for drinking as well as cooking. A nice deep, rich flavor.

Burgundy, always gives that special taste to stew. Almost as if it was made for it.
