First and foremost, however, it is important that you and your guests enjoy the wine. You can draw on experience or you can try things out from time to time. Of course we can also offer you ours here wine packages to heart :-)
When making a selection, it is always good to think about certain aromas in the wine and to imagine which foods harmonize well with these aromas.

The Flavors

Geschmacksrichtung Fett zu Wein

FAT:

Strong, tannic wines go well with heavy, hearty dishes, such as a roast. The fat in the food ensures that the tannins are not perceived as too dry on the palate and the full taste of the wine can thus be perfectly savored.
Intense, spicy wines are for example: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

Geschmacksrichtung Salz zu Wein

SALT:

Salty foods increase the aromas and bitterness of the wine. Therefore, it is advisable here light and fruity Wine to select. However, you should pay attention to a good balance of fruit and salt, in wine and food. Too sweet or too salty don't go together.
For example are Prosciutto and sparkling wine a great couple.

Geschmacksrichtung Schärfe zu Wein

SHARPNESS:

When it comes to spicy food, you should keep in mind that alcohol increases the spicy impression of the food.
This can lead to an uncomfortable feeling in the mouth. In order to soften the sharpness a little, we recommend a wine with a low residual sweetness, for example a trockener Cabernet Franc. Goes well with a wok dish light white wine with exotic nuances, such as the Sauvignon Blanc, to pick up on the range of different flavors.

Geschmacksrichtung Säure zu Wein

ACID:

It is important that the acidity in the food is balanced with that of the wine. Neither acid should stand out too much. Examples of sour dishes are classic fish with lemon or chicken that has been prepared with a lemon marinade.

Geschmacksrichtung Süße zu Wein

SWEETNESS:

Again, it is better not to have too much of a good thing here. Because the part that tastes sweeter makes the other part look bland.
Slight acidity in the wine, on the other hand, fits wonderfully. Here one is suitable sparkling wine downright excellent. The carbon dioxide refreshes, but also tastes a little sweeter due to the sweet food itself.
