The strawberries were OK, but not great. We used a merlot to macerate and it completely dominated the strawberry flavor and canceled out the honey and sugar. I would strongly suggest a sweet red wine, and maybe reduce the volume of the wine. We used the berries in the Berry Pudding recipe that Alton also suggested. It could have been good but instead was only carried to acceptable by the whipped cream.

So when this recipe calls for a red table wine, think of something light red and sweet like a white zin.

I rate this recipe ONE STAR.

The wine overwhelmed the strawberries, as another viewer also said, even though I added the sugar and honey.

I didn't care for this recipe at all. And, its pretty expensive to boot with an entire bottle of wine.
