Barbecuing with wine?

[hotwine]

Chuck, I hope I understood your question. We
serve wine with barbecue quite freqeuntly, with the type being dependent on the type of meat that is being grilled or smoked.
Our seasoning is a dry rub (which I've described elsewhere on the board), and I grill and smoke only with seasoned oak, rather than charcoal.

I have never tried basting any meat on the grill with wine. I think the wine would quickly become scorched, and quite likely ruin the meat.
