Coq au vin is definitely not a soup - it's a stew. The category should be renamed "Soups/Stews" or a separate "Stews" category should be created. Babyluck 15:55 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Techniqually, Coq au vin is not merely chicken, it is only the male, or rooster (Coq in French). Otherwise, it would be Poulet au Vin

Of course coq literally means "rooster". But in fact, coq au vin is made with all kinds of poultry. It's a name, not a description. The Hungarian wine called "Bull's blood" isn't made out of bull's blood, either. The Trésor de la langue française says that coq au vin is "fait à partir d'un coq, d'un poulet ou d'une autre volaille". I've added that info to the article. --Macrakis (talk) 16:19, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
