Suggestions For Pairing Wine With Food
Most people suggest that there are two main ways of pairing wine and food. First, wine can become a component in the preparation of a meal. Second, it can be done by drinking and enjoying wine with the food we eat. Of course, the first activity should always be followed by the second for maximum wine and food enjoyment! And, of course, there's no reason not to enjoy both activities at the same time providing an ideal combination of wine and food.
Enjoying Wine While Eating
A good wine will add to the flavor of the food, assist in digestion and, in the case of red wine, be beneficial in keeping your heart healthy. There are several schools of thought as to which wines to combine with particular foods. However, my suggestion is that if it tastes right, it is right. While some connoisseurs may argue with this, there seems to be little downside in pairing wine and food in this manner.
Cooking With Wine
Italian and French chefs are world renowned for successfully combining food and wine. Both cuisines make extensive use of both red and white wines in meal preparation from appetizers to sauces to desserts.
Usually, combining wine and food in this manner does not result in an alcoholic taste to the food as heating the wine or other liqueur typically removes the alcohol component.
Something important to consider when cooking with wine is never to cook with a wine that you wouldn't want to drink. This can mean opening a bottle of wine just for the recipe you are planning but the flavor boost to your dinner is worth it. Do not be tempted to cook with a wine that has been sitting open in the fridge for the last week. If you wouldn't drink it, don't try to cook with it.
