How much wine to use in purple merlot bread?  Do you replace all the water with wine?  Any other considerations?

Shooting from the hip, I had it in a restaurant once.

just a guess but I would go half and half with the liquid ingredient. experiment. I need to take the time to do some baking.

Good idea, the one I had in the restaurant had walnuts.

I went half and half and it came out real good.  Not a strong wine flavor but a good purple tint.

Next time I'm going to try 1.5C wine and .5C water.
