Red Wine Jus

Red Wine Jus is a glossy sauce made by reducing red wine with stock, aromatics and often a finishing knob of butter; it is a classic accompaniment in French and British cooking for roasted and grilled meats. Used sparingly, Red Wine Jus is relatively low in energy but can contain a noticeable amount of salt (1.2g per 100g) and some saturated fat from added butter or pan juices. The sauce may contribute small amounts of protein and a few wine-derived polyphenols (antioxidant compounds), but because it is a finishing sauce it’s best enjoyed in moderation or swapped for lighter alternatives if you are limiting sodium or saturated fat.
