Basics for Food and Wine Paring

Wine & Dine is a popular concept that most of the wine lovers religiously follow. Well, if wine alone did not turn out to be your first love,  then Yes! To your surprise, a right combination of the wine and food could blow your minds with its incantation.

Here are the 6 basic profiles to work with when pondering about matching food and wine:

1. Acidity in wine pairs fairly well with fatty and sweet foods.
2. Fatty foods require either an acidic or high alcohol wine, else the wine might taste a little flabby.
3. Bitter or tannic wine could be balanced with a sweet food
4. Salty shouldn’t compete with the acidity in wine. Use sparingly as required to maintain the sharpness of the food or meal.
5. Sweet food or wine could benefit from a little acidity.
6. Alcohol could also be used to cut through fatty foods or balance a sweet dish. 

So the next time you think of blending wine and food, make the right combination to have a fine dining experience with wine.
