Pairing Wine with Soups and Stews

Which wines go best with favorite soups and stews?

Most of us think hearty wines complement thick, meaty soups and stews, and sometimes that's just the right call. But the ingredients in the pot really determine the perfect pairing. Earthy flavors, like spices, herbs, and tangy tomatoes, call for wines with good acidity. But sweeter veggies, such as onions, carrots, and squash, want wines with more rounded, lush, fruity flavors.
