Wine with a Big Mac?

June 7, 2011 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

Wine is typically focused on its pairings with haute cuisine or at least fine food; but the subject on peoples’ minds is actually if there are wine pairings for fast food. While it may seem weird to some, it is a genuine question. Can good wine even pair with foods like the famous, or rather infamous, Big Mac?  Well according to a tasting, there are a few combinations that can improve the quick grab burgers and fries. An unusual fate for the wine in those two bottle wine bags, but a good thing to try still.
                The simple and sensible choice for the classic Big mac is an easy white like sauvignon blanc. This basic white goes well with the greasy burger because of its crispness, it cuts through the grease to let the actual flavors of the burger come through for enjoyment.  Or for those that like reds better instead of whites can go for a mildly dry, distinctively oaked merlot.  Of course these pairings can also teach wine lovers a lot about pairings with things that are a little more sophisticated but equally decadent. Sharper wines with a lot of flavor can actually cut through the grease of certain foods. Look for a wine with moderate tannins and a good acidity. This would work well with pairings for ribs, pulled pork, or roast that are a little higher in fat.
