Not true. A casserole has absolutely nothing to do with
stewing/braising. A casserole has to do with the cookware (cooked and
served in the same dish), has nothing whatsoever to do with what's
cooking. The only differences between stewing and braising is that
braising entails minimal liquid and must be cooked tightly covered, a
stew contains substantial liquid and can be cooked covered or
uncoverd.

Stewing/braising red meat with wine is homosexual... real men cook red
meat in beer.
