so many great ideas!
I added a can to a Venison roast the other morning that went for eight hours or so.
It came out fork tender,just delicious.You really can't taste the soda at all.

Whatever you do don't waste the bottle of red wine on the meat - drink it while the meat slow cooks so you and the meat are crocked!

lol! I know several merlots and pinots that are really only good for imparting flavor in cooking. I tend to buy a different bottle of wine as a control for the cook.

I poured in a bottle of guinness for a steak that was overly dried on a smoker...came out amazing...

Julia Childs always said if a wine was not suitable to drink you should not expect food cooked with it to be any different!

Not mention she cook with wine that $40-50 a bottle if she bought the same wine of a current vintage today. Do you look at the wines she is serving? Grand Cru's did not cost like they do today.

If I needed to add liquid, I'd use low-salt beef or chicken stock. Let it cook for a few more hours, until the vegetables are softened. Serve with spanish or mexican rice, warm corn tortillas, salsa and guacamole.
This sounds like a winner, over some cellophane noodles. Don't forget the Sriracha.

Belgian ales do well with beef in the crockpot. If you don't want to go the more $$ route, Blue Moon is a good choice.
