What to look for in the wine

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.
