Wine and Food Pairing Myths You Can Finally Forget š·šā
Wine pairing doesnāt have to be stressful or follow strict ārules.ā
Itās all about what tastes good to you.
Hereās the truth about some common wine and food pairing myths that have been holding you back from enjoying the perfect combo.
1ļøā£ Myth: Red Wine Only Pairs with Meat
š« False!
While red wine does go well with meats, it also pairs beautifully with dishes like pizza, pasta, and even hearty vegetable dishes.
āØ Truth:
A light Pinot Noir goes wonderfully with roasted vegetables, and a bold Zinfandel is perfect with BBQ jackfruit.
2ļøā£ Myth: White Wine Only Goes with Fish or Chicken
š« False!
White wine can complement so much more than seafood and poultry.
Rich whites, like Chardonnay, pair just as well with creamy dishes or even fried food.
āØ Truth:
A buttery Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with macaroni and cheese or roasted turkey.
Itās all about matching the weight and texture.
3ļøā£ Myth: You Need Expensive Wine to Pair with Food
š« False!
You donāt need a high-priced bottle to make a pairing work.
The most important part of pairing is the balance of flavors, not the price tag.
āØ Truth:
A $15 bottle of Malbec can pair just as well with a steak as a fancy $50 bottle of Bordeaux.
4ļøā£ Myth: Sweet Wines Should Only Be for Dessert
š« False!
Sweet wines can be amazing with spicy or savory dishesājust think of a sweet Riesling with Asian cuisine or a Moscato with spicy BBQ.
āØ Truth:
A sparkling RosƩ or a sweet Riesling can cut through spicy heat in a dish, creating a wonderful contrast.
5ļøā£ Myth: Cheese and Wine Pairing Has to Be Complicated
š« False!
You donāt need to overthink it.
Find a simple match that you love.
āØ Truth:
Go with easy combosālike cheddar with a dry red, goat cheese with Sauvignon Blanc, or blue cheese with port.
Trust your tastebuds!
