Wine and Spicy Food

June 25, 2010 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

                Sometimes it is hard to pair a spicy food with a wine without feeling like the whole meal is too heavy.  If you have spicy food than you typically want a drink to go with it that can neutralize the spice.   So reds are usually not a good choice with spicier foods because they are not as light and refreshing as say a white or rose.  But it also depends on how spicy the food is and what type of spice it is. 
                Always consider things like how spicy the food is when making your wine choice.  A light to medium Spanish spice goes great with a light, fruity blush wine for example.  Dry whites are a nice general wine to pair with spicy food.  This would be good say if a friend says they are making a spicy dinner and want you to bring the wine to the dinner party.  Another great thing to do would be to would be to set up a wine barrel stemware holder with your spicy meal for a brilliant tablescape addition.  Be bold and experiment with spices and wines and find a combination that works for you because while suggests exist, it is more about personal preference.
