This month I’m participating in a new group of bakers. It’s Bread Bakers group and I’m excited to be a part of it and start baking bread! This month the theme is “a touch of grape.” I was stumped by what type of bread I could make with grapes but after thinking for a while I decided I wanted to make something with wine. And what goes better with wine then chocolate? Not much in my book.
This Double Chocolate Red Wine Bread is a quick bread that is ready in under an hour. It’s a delicious, deep chocolate bread made with a sweet red wine and mixed with chocolate chips. The bread is delicious for dessert or anytime with coffee.
I made it in several small paper loaf pans so I could keep one for myself and give the others to my friends. This would be a great bread to make and give out at the holidays along with a small bottle of red wine

Double Chocolate Red Wine Bread
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup) room temperature
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 c. sweet red wine (I used Gallo Family Vineyards Sweet Red)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/4 c. flour
- 1/2 c. cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 c. chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 3 small loaf pans with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl combine the butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined.
- Add in the red wine and vanilla and mix until combined
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Fill the small loaf pans 1/2-3/4 of the way full. Place the paper loaf pans on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (If you are making the bread in a regular sized loaf pan bake for 1 hour).
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

Looking forward to trying this but have a couple questions. I’m not familiar with the site so apologize if these are answered elsewhere. It’s about the butter. By stick do you mean 1/2 cup? Butter comes in a variety of divisions these days. And is the butter salted or unsalted? Thanks for your help!
Hello, yes 1/2 cup. Sorry about that I generally put 1 stick then the measurement. I’ll be changing that. You can use either salted or unsalted. I prefer salted for baking but not everyone does so it’s really a personal preference.
I LOVE chocolate + red wine. Such an amazing combo. Your loaf is making me want to go make a mini chocolate and wine cake right now.
Brilliant idea ! Love this bread. Love the richness!
Yum, chocolate and wine, so perfect together.
I look so tasty, chocolate and wine 🙂
I love the look of this bread! Chocolate and wine anytime!
These look so rich and delicious Heather Lynne. I love the dark chocolate color. I’m now craving chocolate!
Chocolate and wine! Can’t get any better. Great bread! 🙂
moist and delicious
Oh, wow, I love the sound of this bread! You have a lot of self-control to give it away–it just sounds too good!
I am not a big sweet eater but I do enjoy some dark chocolate with a glass of red wine, Heather. You have created, perhaps, my perfect sweet bread! Lovely!
This really would make a great holiday gift! And you know I love the combo of red wine and chocolate.
