Which wine goes with a barbecue?
Grilled meat loves a red wine with ripe fruit and soft tannins, such as a Malbec, Zinfandel or Primitivo. With grilled fish and vegetables, a fresh rosé or a crisp white works beautifully, served well chilled.

Wine pairing: our tips
Which wine goes with pasta and pizza?
Tomato sauce asks for a wine with fresh acidity: think Italian reds such as Chianti, Montepulciano or Barbera. With creamy pasta, a round white such as a Chardonnay or a Soave is a safe choice.
Which wine goes with spicy and Asian food?
Heat and high alcohol amplify each other. Choose an off-dry white such as a Riesling or Gewürztraminer, or a light, fruity red served slightly chilled.
Which wine goes with a cheese board?
Fresh goat cheese loves Sauvignon Blanc, aged hard cheese goes well with a full red, and blue cheese is a classic with a sweet wine or a port.
