Six Pairing Principles
Use these principles to understand why a match works and to adapt recommendations to your own table.
Match weight
Light dishes generally prefer lighter wines; rich stews and roasts can support more body and structure.
Use acidity
High-acid wines refresh fried food, olive oil, fatty fish and creamy textures.
Mind tannin and heat
Powerful tannins and high alcohol can intensify chili heat; fresh fruit and lower tannin are safer choices.
Respect sweetness
Dessert wine should usually be as sweet as, or sweeter than, the food.
Pair the sauce
Sauce, seasoning and cooking method often matter more than the main ingredient.
Trust your taste
Regional tradition is a helpful starting point, but personal preference remains the final rule.
