How to Pair Wine with Food (Food Pairing)?
The secret to a perfect meal lies in the balance between the flavors of the dishes and those of the wine. The general rule says that red wine pairs excellently with red meat (beef, pork, lamb), aged cheeses, and dishes with rich sauces. The tannins in red wine help "cut" through the fats.
On the other hand, white and rosé wine are the ideal partners for white meat (chicken, turkey), fish, seafood, pasta with light sauces, and fresh salads. Sparkling wines (champagne) are excellent as an aperitif or alongside fine desserts, soft cheeses, and fruits.
| Wine Type | Ideal Food Pairing | Serving Temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Red Wine (Dry) | Steaks, Venison, Hard cheeses | 16°C - 18°C |
| White Wine (Dry/Semi-dry) | Fish, Poultry, Seafood | 8°C - 12°C |
| Sparkling / Champagne | Aperitifs, Desserts, Caviar | 6°C - 8°C |
Frequently Asked Questions about Wines
How should wine be properly stored?
Bottles with natural corks should be stored horizontally so that the wine keeps the cork moist (preventing it from drying out and letting air in). Store the wine in a dark, cool place with a constant temperature (between 10°C and 15°C) and away from vibrations.
How long does a bottle of wine last after it has been opened?
After opening, wine comes into contact with oxygen and begins to oxidize. Generally, a white or rosé wine lasts in the fridge for 3-5 days with the cork on. Red wine can be kept in a cool, dark place for 3-5 days. Using a vacuum pump extends the life of open wine.
Why should red wine be aerated (decanted)?
Aeration involves exposing the wine to oxygen (decanting). This process helps release complex aromas, "soften" harsh tannins, and evaporate some unwanted volatile compounds. Full-bodied or aged red wines usually require 30-60 minutes of aeration before serving.
