1. HOW TO PAIR WINE
WITH FOOD

2. There is no doubt that people love to drink
when they eat. However, there is some kind
of secret connection between taste, scent
and texture in food and drinks. Finding the
right combination can lead to a time to
remember while a wrong one can lead to a
disaster. Now let’s see how we can pair wine
with food in an affordable Italian restaurant
Singapore has to offer.

3. Many experts can confirm that the color of
the wine doesn’t have anything to do with
food, but the components wines of certain
color contain should certainly guide you to
your final choice when it comes to pairing
wine and food because of the different
reactions when they are combined.

4. Wine can emphasize the taste of food or to
suppress it. For example, soft white fish
fillets could not be noticed if we drink
Hamburg-based wine. However, brisk fruity
Zinfandel will add a wonderful aroma of
forest berries, while the combination of
Bordeaux with some venison can lead to
some unusual sensations.

5. It is probably the best idea to make a
combination of food and wine that leads to
some new, Italian cuisine Singapore offers
is a great start. The proteins from the meat
can easily eliminate heavy tannins, so many
heavy wines that you’ve purchased by
mistake can be easily consumed with a
juicy steak.

6. On the other hand, try a top Bordeaux red
wine with nuts. It is interesting that pairing
food and wine doesn’t necessarily mean
that you have to look for a compatible
combination because sometimes opposites
attract!

7. Wines can have weak, moderate and strong
taste. There are also wines with mineral,
fruit, earthy and floral taste too. Wines
should be served with food that contains
parity in its composition. Try distinctively
white sparkling wine like white Burgundy
with mushrooms or Chardonnay with melon
ice cream.

8. It is also a well-known fact that strong
wines are perfect when they are
consumed with sweet food. Creamy
wines like Chardonnay match very well
with cakes and crab meat too. Light,
medium, full wines are looking for
counterweight. Very spicy Mexican or
Far East cuisine won’t get along very
well with European fruity wines.

9. As we have mentioned before there are
certain wines and foods that don’t have
anything in common and matching them
is a true art. But, you need to be careful
because wrong pairing can lead to
“disasters”. Now let’s see what makes a
good combination especially with Italian
food and wine Singapore is offering.

10. Sweet and dessert wines become less
sweet and far more emphasized when
we drink them with salty food. The same
thing happens if you drink them with
sweet food. Wines that are a little bit
sour can increase the effect of salty food
and they can also reduce the feeling of
greasiness.

11. Wines that are rich in tannins taste, less
“aggressive” with salty foods and they
also reduce the sweetness of cake.

12. On the other hand, you should never pair
strong and heavy wines with delicate
dishes. A wine with large amount of
tannins served with spicy dishes will dry
out the mouth and if it is served with
sweet foods it eliminates the sweetness.
