Coming from a large family such as I do = plenty of family gatherings where the food will be plentiful and the drinks will be flowing. We will often be out for a meal for someone’s birthday or anniversary when someone asks to see the wine list. Steve doesn’t really drink much but even he too isn’t adverse to the odd glass of wine with some food – but I’m useless at pairing the right tipple with the right food and don’t know how people manage it.
That was until I saw this fun little infographic:
I’m not much of a red wine fan unlike Steve, my Dad and my father in law – so if I had my way, I’d probably pair a nice glass of white with everything. After seeing this handy information though I may be more inclined to drink a red with particular meals so as to really benefit from the pairing – after all, people rave about certain pairings so they must taste especially good, right?
I’m now looking forward to the next family get together where I can put my wine knowledge to good use!
Do you pair certain dishes with certain wines? What do you find works best for you?
