Coq au vin is a wine-braised poultry dish found on traditional French menus. Red-wine preparations are familiar, although other versions use different wine. The garnish and sides depend on the kitchen. Look for a savory braise and read the menu’s details rather than expecting every restaurant to serve the same plate.
