Suggestions For Pairing Wine With Food
It is generally considered that there are two main ways of pairing wine and food. First, wine can become a major component in the preparation of a meal. Second, it can be done by drinking and enjoying wine with the food we eat. Of course, the first activity should always be followed by the second for maximum wine and food enjoyment! And you can always enjoy both activities at the same time to provide the ideal combination wine and food.
Enjoy Wine With Dinner
Good wine will improve digestion, contribute to the flavor of the food and, in the case of red wine, assist in good health. There are several schools of thought as to which wines to combine with particular foods. However, my suggestion is that if it tastes right, it is right. While some gourmets may argue with this, there seems to be little downside in pairing wine and food in this manner.
Cooking With Wine
Italian and Fench chefs and home cooks are renowned for their use of wine in their cooking. Both cuisines make extensive use of both red and white wines in meal preparation from appetizers to sauces to desserts.
Pairing wine and food like this avoids any alcoholic taste in the dish as bringing the wine to the boil removes the alcohol.
A rule to remember when cooking with wine is never to cook with a wine that you don’t want to drink. This can mean opening a bottle of wine just for the recipe you are planning but the flavor boost to your dinner is worth it. Never be tempted to add that wine that has been sitting open in the fridge for the last week to the recipe you are cooking. If it isn’t a wine you would drink, don’t attempt to cook with it.

Spiegelau Vino Grande Burgundy, Set of 2After undergoing 1500 dishwasher cycles, Spiegelau stemware was certified as ???extremely dishwasher safe??? by an independent laboratory. They found no scratching, markings, loss of brilliance, foggy shadows, change in color or brilliance or build up of water chemicals and residue. Spiegelau???s remarkable durability can be attributed in large part to the Platinum Glass process. As the glass goes from its powder to its liquid stage, liquid glass is passed through platinum-lined tubes to eliminate any impurities and remove all imperfections and inconsistencies that might otherwise exist. (Platinum prevents leaching that may occur from other equipment linings) While more expensive, this innovative use of technology proves Spiegelau???s commitment to quality. The result is a "high performance" wine glass with a remarkable marriage of elegance, functionality and durability.
