The word of wine pairing can be scary sometimes, but by following these tips it will become easier and easier each time. Believe us, the wine pairing does not have to be complicated, just keep reading and you’ll see.

And always remember: For red meat, red wine. This is a matter on which there is no doubt. Here, we are not looking for a type of grape variety as if it’s a robust and powerful one. When the meat is well prepared, previously macerated, or of a wine sauce meat is prepared, it should be served with the same type of wine that is used in the maceration or sauce.

What about the fish? The fish does not automatically require a white wine, as one may think. A red one may be appropriate if we serve, for example, a salmon with mushrooms. But both shellfish and white fish suits better with h a white one.



The chicken meat is neutral and for this reason, we can use different types of wine with it.
