Not all wines taste the same; thus it is not wise to pair any wine with any food. If you want to get the most out of every wine, you must combine it with the right food. Sparkling wines are the fizzy ones that have a large amount of carbon dioxide. Champagne is a sparkling wine that is sour and sweet, and it is very less acidic; thus, it has no significant digesting properties, so you should consume sparkling wines with light and salty food that goes well with this sweet and sour drink. Avoid consuming dense foods like red meat with sparkling wine.

Cava, too, has a citrus flavor that gives it sour taste and Prosecco is also fizzy, full of bubbles. Dry wines, as the name shows, have no sweetness, although they have a fruity flavor. They don't taste sweet, but they feel like fruits, just like Pinot Grigio that tastes like a pear, apple, or lime. Similarly, Sauvignon Blanc is also dry wine in which the taste ranges from zesty lime to aromatic peach. Both these wines should also be consumed with sone light and tangy foods that are a bit sour and enhance the flavor of the wine.

Rich white wines have a strong citrus flower; they are moderately acidic and contain alcohol. Chardonnay is a creamy white wine that has some good flavor range that includes papaya and pineapple along with lemon and apple. Viognier has light flavors of mango and tangerine, and its aroma is like creamy vanilla. Due to this creamy aroma, these rich white wines taste even better with fatty and creamy food like saucy pasta and cream salads. Other white vines have a typical sweet taste, just like Riesling can taste very sweet if the fruit is very ripe. Moscato is an Italian wine that is also drunk as an aperitif because of its extra sweet taste. Moscato was also called dessert wine in the past. You can combine these wines either with some delicious dessert to enhance the flavor or with some spicy food to lessen the impact of spices. However, these sweet wines should not be consumed with something more delightful than the wine as that much sweetness will be no good.

Red wines have four different kinds from light red to bold red, and the other one is a dessert wine. Light red wine usually tastes dry and acidic. Pinot Noir and Gamay both have a similar taste that is dry. Thus these wines should be consumed with something like truffles and swiss cheese that enhance the flavor to a reasonable level but not too extreme. Medium red wines are the ones that you should pair with red meat, as this forms a fantastic combination to satisfy your tastebuds. Merlot is one of the medium red wine that gets its taste from red, blue, and black fruits. It has various earthy tones of flavor that goes well with rich and savory food. Bold red wine has a smokey pepper-like flavor; it is delicious and elegant and suits well with stew and lamb dinners. You can pair syrah with smoked cheese and enhance its smokey flavor. A dessert wine is a sparkling wine that has the right amount of carbon dioxide, and as the name tells, it is best to pair with desserts because its sweet taste is suppressed by acidity in it.
