Marinating mince in wine.

Can't sleep, so a question to the forum:

When marinating mince in wine, do you use cheap plonk, or something more expensive?

(Or is it a waste of good wine either way?)

I use Madiera, also add to my gravy and steak fry.

Some cheap wines do the trick at the end of the day it depends on your taste buds.

After this covid lark our taste buds are probably shot to pieces.

Cheap wine

You dont need to use expensive wine on a marinade

The main reason you are using wine is because its an acid and helps tenderise the meat and add a little flavour

I think if it was just wine it won't be amazing, add the right spices etc etc to the wine marinade and it's worth it.

Haven’t marinated mince before, but will try it for the next spag bog. Perhaps with a dash of Worcester sauce in there too....

However, for chilli beef, I marinade cubes bits of steak overnight in the above mentioned wine n Worcester, along with garlic, chilli flakes, oregano and thyme. And more than a dash of ponce.

Yeah you need 4 parts

Acid- wine, vinegar Butterrmilk ect

Fat - Olive oil, Butter ect

and Herbs and spices

You use half as much oil/Fat as your acid

Never ever use cheap wine.

If you need to cure raw meat use a wine vinegar, if you want to add flavour, use wine with body.

Well in my world.

Essentially I've been marinating it for lasagne. A bit of wine in with some oregano spices.

I also considered doing the same with cottage pie, with oregano and turmeric- lots of turmeric always goes well with cottage pie.

Thanks for the responses, there are some cultured people on this forum! I'll have an experiment with some of the quantities suggested here.

If you want the background taste to be that of something fermented its either alcohol or vinegar, yeast or rotted down things.

I've never marinated mince. Does it make a big a difference to the flavour when cooked? I'll have to try it with a red next time I make lasagne.

With enough spices, and if marinated for long enough, it does provide a good background flavour.

(I also recommend melting in a good dollop of cheese)
