What wine goes with oysters?
For oysters, look for a wine with a similar weight to the dish. Preparation and seasoning can change the pairing, even when the main ingredient stays the same.

What to look for in the wine
Compare the weight
With a substantial, protein-rich preparation, a structured red can be useful to compare. A lighter version of the dish may need less weight. Include the cooking method and sauce in your choice.
Account for the preparation
The same main ingredient can call for a different wine when its preparation changes. Taste the sauce and seasoning as well as the main ingredient before choosing the bottle.
Check the individual wine
Wines from the same grape can differ in body, alcohol and sweetness. Compare those details in the profiles below; a grape name alone cannot establish how a bottle will work with your recipe.
Bottles to consider
These suggestions compare a typical preparation with the available wine profiles. Add your own recipe in the pairing tool for a closer match.
