This red wine brownie will quickly become one of your favorite brownie recipes ever because it combines two of my favorite things into one rich and decadent sweet treat.

To be completely honest, this recipe was made so that I don’t have to pick between having red wine or having brownies… you know balance and whatnot. So I figured that by combining both ingredients I would be able to enjoy everything even more.

This is the best red wine brownie recipe ever!

I personally don’t drink alcohol but I do enjoy some nonalcoholic wines, red wine included so I decided to go with that one in this recipe. If you have a bottle of regular wine in your home, feel free to use that! It will work just as well and you will get brownies that taste like chocolate mixed with your favorite wine!

If you do try this recipe, let me know which wine you used in the comments I’m so curious to know how your boozy brownies turn out!

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store red wine brownies?

You can store these brownies in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

To make these brownies last longer you can store them in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Just make sure to let them get back to room temperature before enjoying them to really get that full gooey fudgy brownie experience.

Can I freeze red wine brownies?

Absolutely! Freezing brownies is revolutionary. You can store them in the freezer in an air tight container for up to 3 months. Once you’re ready to enjoy them pull them out and let them get back too room temperature before enjoying them.

I also like to pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to get them melty before enjoying them.

What’s the best red wine to use?

Since I don’t drink alcohol, I used non-alcoholic red wine. It tastes exactly like wine but has the alcohol removed. If you won’t mind using regular wine then you can do with your favorite red wine. The flavor is amazing!

Can kids have these brownies too? Can I have wine brownies if I’m pregnant?

This brownie recipe has about ½ a serving or red wine. The alcohol (if using regular wine) will bake off in the oven but at the end of the day you can do whatever you’re comfortable with.

If you are pregnant, use your best judgement when it comes to this recipe or discuss it with your doctor 🙂

First start by preheating the oven to 350F then lightly grease an 8X8 baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly then place in the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes. The brownies should be set and if tested with a toothpick should have some moist crumbs attached to it. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing into them. Dust with extra cocoa powder if you'd like!
