This time we are not going to explain how to make a certain recipe – in a healthy way. We are going to show you how to choose a wine to be successful when selecting it depending on the dish that we are going to consume.
Of course, in case you are interested in knowing the relationship between wine and health, do not skip knowing something more about the properties of wine.
How to choose a good wine?
As you can imagine, before choosing a wine, the food that we are going to consume must be taken into account, in order to be able to select a suitable wine depending on each occasion, not forgetting the personal tastes of the diners who are going to sit in your desk.
- For cheeses, Serrano ham, or olives, it is ideal to opt for a good red, rosé or amontillado wine (such as Manzanilla or Jerez).
- In case you are going to serve red meat, you can opt for a red wine such as a reserve from Rivera Del Duero, Rioja or Pends. It must be a powerful and robust red wine, with aging and concentration.
- In case you opt for poultry, it is a good recommendation to choose a Tempranillo Semicrianza; that is, a red wine that is not too robust but has body and aroma.
- If you choose fish, there is no doubt that one of the wines that best fits is white wine, especially for fish with a strong flavor. The same goes for seafood.
- If you are serving pasta, you can opt for a good young white wine or a rosé wine.
- Also desserts can be ideal with a good wine. In this case, sweet desserts will taste best accompanied by a light white wine.
