The golden rules of pairing
- 1Match weight with weight
Light dishes call for light wines; rich dishes can take fuller-bodied wines.
- 2Acidity cuts through fat
Fried food, cheese and fatty meats feel lighter with a fresh white or a sparkling wine.
- 3Tannins love protein
The tannins of a structured red soften with grilled or roast red meat.
- 4Salt loves bubbles
Cured ham, seafood and salty nibbles are great with sparkling wine.
- 5Sweeter wine than dessert
With dessert, the wine should be at least as sweet as the dish, or it tastes bitter.
- 6Spice without high alcohol
With spicy food, choose fresh, fruity wines; high alcohol and tannin amplify the heat.
- 7What grows together goes together
Regional dishes often find their perfect match in wines from the same region.
- 8Mind the sauce
Often it is the sauce, not the meat or fish, that decides the wine.

Frequently asked questions
How does the pairing tool work?
Choose the dish, how it is cooked, the occasion and, if you like, a style and a budget. The tool compares your choice with the sheet of every wine in stock (body, acidity, tannin, sweetness, alcohol, grapes and region), ranks the wines by affinity and explains why each one works.
Are the suggestions in stock?
Yes. Only wines in stock are included, and we confirm the live price and availability in the shop for every suggestion shown.
Can I pair a whole menu?
Yes. In Full menu mode, pick a starter, a main course and a dessert to get a wine for each course, and add them all to your basket at once.
Does it cost anything?
No. It is free and needs no sign-up.
What if my dish is not listed?
Type it into the search box or ask the AI Sommelier, who replies in seconds and knows our whole catalogue.
Can I share a pairing?
Yes. Once you see the suggestions, copy the link or send it on WhatsApp: whoever opens it sees the same pairing.
