Red wine pairing

All you need to know about pairing wine with your dinner. Whether it's a full red or a crisp white, you'll look like an expert.

The most common pairing is a red wine with steak. However, selecting the best wine to drink with your steak can be difficult with so many options of wine and so many cuts of steak to potentially pair together.

Pairing wine with chicken may seem like a simple task. White wine always goes with poultry, right? Well not so fast. White wines do pair more easily as chicken is a light, mild protein, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a delicious red wine with your chicken dish. As is often the case with choosing the right wine, you’ll want to consider how the chicken is prepared, the ingredients used and what, if any, sauces are accompanying your meal.

Wines Listed from Dry to Sweet (Charts) Any wine – be it Riesling or Cabernet – can be either dry or sweet. The sweetness of wine is determined by the winemaker. Of course, popular varietal wines and styles tend to share the same sweetness level. Wine sweetness ranges from virtually nothing to upwards of 70% sweetness (like a rare bottle of Spanish PX!).
