What to look for in the wine
Balance the richness
Look for acidity to balance the richer elements, including the peppercorn sauce. The wine also needs enough body to remain noticeable alongside the food.
Consider a softer texture
Savoury ingredients can bring out bitterness and drying tannin in a wine. A supple red or a textured white is worth considering here, particularly when mushrooms or vegetables are central to your recipe.
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.
