According to culinary experts, the rule of thumb is to cook with wine you would actually drink. So, is cooking wine better than wine? The short answer is almost always no; cooking wine is a lower-quality product designed for specific kitchen use, not for superior flavor.

Pinot Noir is widely cited as the red wine with the lowest tannins, largely due to the thin skins of its grapes. For those who find the dry, astringent sensation of high-tannin reds unpleasant, seeking out varieties like Gamay, Barbera, and Frappato can provide a much smoother, fruitier experience.
