Wine Singapore |
Another useful guideline to follow when trying to match a particular food with Wine Singapore is to match the region. You can match wine and foods of the same country or region. If you are eating a pasta dish, you will do well with an Italian wine. An exception to this guideline is foods that are not prepared traditionally. If a dish is not prepared with a traditional recipe or uses spices not indigenous to that country, the wine of that country will not pair well.

The basic goal of wine pairing is to provide a synergy or balance with the wine and food. The food should not overpower the wine. Likewise, the wine should not overpower the food. When you are pairing wine with food, treat the wine as you would treat a condiment. The wine should
always complement the food. Wine alone, tastes differently than it does when paired with the right meal. This is because a great wine acts similar to a spice. The features in wine interact with the food to provide certain sensations, as spices do.
