Coq au vin is an example of which cooking category?

Braising combines searing with long, gentle simmering in a flavorful liquid. Coq au vin is a classic example: the chicken is browned and then cooked slowly in red wine (often with stock and aromatics) until tender and the sauce reduces to a rich glaze. This is different from grilling, frying, or steaming, which rely on direct heat, oil, or steam without creating that slow, flavorful reduction. So the dish is a braised chicken dish.
