Wine Selection by cuisine

Please choose cuisine from below list to see wine selection for it.

French Cuisine

Dishes: Grilled salmon fillet, smoked pork belly, chicken stew, potato gratin, French toast, mushroom galette, quiche (French tart), ratatouille.

Dishes are simple to make, but the results are fantastic and so rewarding. Most of the dishes are thick, rich, and creamy.

When it comes to something simple (but delicious), like French toast, gratin go with a dry medium bodied but well balanced white. 

Balanced wine is when alcohol, acidity, tannin, sweetness and fruit concentration are working in harmony.

Italian Cuisine

Dishes: pizza, pasta, lasagna, risotto, carbonara, focaccia (Italian bread), gnocchi, tortelli and ravioli

Remember!   Acidic food => acidic wine

Vinegar, lemon juice, and tomatoes can make your wine seem a bit ‘flat’. To make a balance pair the food with dry, acidic, fruity either a red or a white wine!

Middle East Cuisine

About Cuisine:     Based on grains, butter, olive oil, lamb and chicken.

South-East Asian Cuisine

(Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Indian)

About Cuisine: Cuisine based on rice, seafood, duck, pork, and a lot of seasonal ingredients

Salty food => Acidic Wine

Spanish Cuisine

Dishes: paella (colourful rice dish), tortilla Española (Spanish omelette), pisto (Spanish version of ratatouille), tapas (famous Spanish appetizers or snacks), El Arroz Negro (Spanish black risotto), Empanada (baked or fried pastry)

Light, fruity/floral aromas, crisp and citrusy wine (have not been fermented in a barrel). Wine should always compliment the food and not dominate.

Western Cuisine or Outdoor Dining

(Such as hamburgers, steak, barbecue food, ribs, buffalo wings or hot dogs)

This is generally an easy choice when it comes to wine.

Just make sure the wine does not overpower the food.

The heavier the food, the more bodied and higher in tannins the wine should be.
