Wine Pairing FAQs

  • How do I choose the right wine for spicy food?

    Opt for wines with lower alcohol and higher sweetness, like Riesling or Gewürztraminer, to balance the heat without overpowering the flavors.

  • Can I pair red wine with seafood?

    Yes, but select lighter reds such as Pinot Noir or Gamay, which complement delicate seafood without masking its taste.

  • What wine pairs well with cheese boards?

    Match the wine to the cheese type: creamy cheeses suit Chardonnay, while aged cheeses pair well with Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec.

  • Is it okay to mix wine styles during a meal?

    Yes, adjusting wine styles between courses can enhance each dish’s flavors; start lighter and progress to fuller-bodied wines.

  • How should I store wine before serving?

    Keep wine at a consistent temperature—reds slightly below room temperature and whites chilled—to preserve their character until serving.
