Today’s question was sent in by William from Dumbo who asks “What are the basic rules to pair wine and food?”.

Video sum up: What are the basic rules to pair wine and food?

Jeremy’s first advice is: drink what you want, what you like and experiment your own wine and food pairing.

After to help you pairing wine and food, many people recommand to drink:

• white wines with poultry, vegetables, salads…
• red wines with beef, lamb, heavier fair, barbecue…
• the wine from where the food comes from (biodynamic rule). For example a cassoulet would be great with a wine from Cahors (like this Malbec)
• a wine that will not overpower the food (especially if it is a very delicate food like sushi) or the other way. Try for example asian foods with riesling or with residual sugar wine to combat the spiciness.
