Champagne & Sparkling Wine
Sparklers are great food wines as generally they have a month- watering quality that makes them an ideal partner for fish and other seafood. as well as light chicken dishes salads and many lightly-flavored starters.
Very dry, light, delicate white
Delicately flavoured, crisp. generally with a very dry finish. Ideally suited to partner isn't, delicately flavoured dishes, particularly fish, shellfish and light salads, they are especially good with Mediterranean dishes.
Dry herbaceous or aromatic white
Great with white fish, chicken and other white meat dishes, particularly when cooked with green herbs or in creamy sauces. The most aromatic and less dry wines work well with lightly spiced dishes.
Juicy, fruit-driven, ripe White
Richly flavoured with the attention firmly on their ripe, often, tropical fruit character.
They have the weight of flavour to cope with strongly flavoured seafood, chicken and pork dishes which may be lightly spiced or have light creamy sauces.
Full -flavoured, nutty, oaked white
Complex with spicy notes complementing the ripe fruit flavours. The European wines are delicious with seafood and all but the darkest meats with butter or cream-based sauces, whilst the richer 'New World ' examples match well with even spicier and richer sauces.
Rosé
Rosés can range from being very dry to per: sweet and this is key to partnering them with food, they can be quite flexible with food as long as the sweetness level of the dish is matched. Chicken, fish and summer-cuisine can all be enhanced with a chilled glass.
Light simple delicate red
Lightly structured with gentle red-fruit flavours these are the most flexible reds to match with food. Great with tomato-based sauces and many southern European dishes based around vegetables, chicken, pork or salmon.
Juicy, medium-bodied fruit-led red
With their juicy, fruit character these wines make great partners for fuller-flavoured pork and chicken dishes particularly those with dark, rich sauces. Delicious with grilled lamb roast beet game, char-grilled vegetables or baked pasta.
Spicy, peppery, warming red
Their spicy character and often rich, fruity style make them a good selection with strongly flavoured beef and lamb dishes. The richest, ripest wines, when paired with spicy foods. act as if to turn the heat up.
