Wine is one of those special elixirs to relish during special occasions or to add a specialty to your moments.
But ever felt confused as to what to pair with it while dining? Here are some of the best accompaniments when you are enjoying that bubbly.
1. Pizza
It is one legit occasion when you can devour pizza! However, keep it light by opting for a thin-crust with not too heavy toppings. After all, you shouldn’t feel too heavy and lose out on enjoying the fine wine. Red wine goes best with the flavours.
2. Dark chocolate
Double the sinfulness by indulging in some smooth dark chocolate. The flavours of the two balance out each other, giving you a heady high that will last the night. Cabernet Sauvignon combines excellently with dark chocolates with a hint of berries, cherries, or plums.
3. Fruit platter
Stay refreshed with a plate of assorted fresh fruits that will add a punch to your wine. While the crunch of apples and pears will provide you a complimentary texture, the luscious juices of berries and grapes will augment the flavours of the wine.
4. Salad
If your focus is to take pleasure in the wine for longer and focus on it more, choose a salad that will be quite the right munch for you. Salads being light will extinguish your hunger, while keeping space for the bubbly.
5. Pita bread and hummus
Get experimental with a fusion of cultures and take a dip in hummus with pita bread. The relatively light and bland flavours of the Arabic cuisine will be a striking contrast to the rich flavours of the wine while also keeping you satiated and free enough to enjoy the drink without clashing tastes.
