Warning
- Never use margarine when making red wine sauce. Margarine doesn't go well with red wine like butter or olive oil, and it's not rich in flavor.
- Never cook red wine sauce at a high temperature as it will cook too quickly. As a result, the resulting sauce will tend to be runny and not rich in taste.
- In the early stages of cooking red wine sauce, be careful not to burn the butter and flour. Also make sure that the final sauce is soft and rich in flavour.
