Merlot instead of Shiraz?

Hi,

I'm going to try and cook this recipe:

Will it be terribly wrong if I replace the Shiraz with a Merlot?

Thank you

Good Morning, and welcome! As far as replacing the shiraz with a merlot, it appears that in the recipe, the shiraz is just a suggestion. I think you will be fine with a merlot. Just remember, if you don't want to drink it, you probably shouldn't use it in your cooking.

Hope that helps and good luck!

Thanks.
Oh it's one of my favourite wines, that's why I have a bottle to spare.

That's right, some for the cook and some for the dish!
