For a smoky depth, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the sauce during the simmering process. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your preferred level of sweetness. You can also substitute honey or maple syrup. This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. The flavors will intensify over time. Experiment with different types of red wine to create unique flavor profiles. Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon can also be used.
