Surely, many have thought about how to choose wine for snacks in such a way as to taste all the richness of the taste of the drink. Café Dr.Watson proposes to use the most advantageous combinations of the type of wine and snacks for it when choosing, as well as to observe the conditions for the best disclosure of the taste of the drink.
So, in order to feel the full depth of the taste of the drink, you need to drink it chilled. The degree of cooling depends on the type of drink:
16-18 degrees – red wine.
10-12 degrees – dry white and sparkling wine.
8-12 degrees – rose wine.
Red semi-sweet wine goes best with:
- seafood;
- grilled meat;
- vegetable salads;
- chocolate
- mild types of cheese;
- ice cream;
- fruits (grapes, strawberries);
- dietary meat (rabbit, turkey);
- poultry meat.
Red dry wine is ordered to:
- meat, especially veal;
- meat delicacies;
- chicken meat rolls;
- nectarines;
- fruits, especially mangoes, plums, peaches;
- mature, sweet low-fat cheeses;
- Italian cuisine (pizza, pasta);
- vegetables
Semi-dry red is very tasty with:
- cheese, such as Dor blue;
- seaweed;
- oily sea fish;
- meat;
- fruit and berry salads.
Sweet red wine is usually complemented with:
- tuna;
- salmon;
- ice cream;
- cookies;
- kiwi;
- oranges;
- meat.
Dessert red wine brightly reveals the taste with:

- sweet pastries;
- sweets.
Perfect for white semi-sweet:
- fish in any performance;

It is strongly not recommended to serve nuts with wine – they block taste buds, reducing their sensitivity.
And for dessert, a useful trick from Dr. Watson: cheese, fruit and bread will go well with any type of wine.
Often visitors are interested in what is the best way to drink wine? Wine is not drunk with anything. It is only recommended to take a sip of water between wine changes.
Happy tasting!
