Red wine typically pairs well with rich, flavorful foods such as red meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Some specific examples include a juicy steak with a bold Cabernet Sauvignon or a hearty beef stew with a full-bodied Merlot.
When drinking white wine, it's best to avoid foods that are too acidic or spicy, as they can overpower the delicate flavors of the wine. This includes things like citrus fruits, vinegar-based dressings, and hot peppers. Instead, opt for light, mild flavors such as seafood, creamy pasta dishes, and soft cheeses.
While it is generally recommended to pair fish with white wine, there are some exceptions. Oily, flavorful fish such as salmon or tuna can be paired with a light-bodied red wine such as Pinot Noir or Beaujolais. The key is to choose a red wine with low tannins and high acidity.
Sparkling wine, like Champagne, pairs well with a variety of cheeses. Soft, creamy cheeses such as Brie or Camembert are a classic choice, but hard cheeses like Parmesan or aged Gouda can also complement the bubbles. For a more unique pairing, try a blue cheese, which can balance out the sweetness of the sparkling wine.
When pairing wine with desserts, it's important to consider the sweetness level of both the wine and the dessert. A general rule of thumb is to pair sweet wines with sweet desserts and more acidic wines with less sweet desserts. For example, a sweet Riesling would pair well with a fruity tart, while a rich chocolate dessert would pair better with a tawny port or a bold red wine.
