Introduction
The alchemy that operates between certain foods coupled with particular wines makes it possible to sublimate a meal. What secrets do you need to know to experience a harmonious meal?
Before starting, a basic rule makes it possible to draw the main lines of the food and wine pairing: it is necessary to favor light wines for light dishes, more subtle wines with delicate dishes and powerful wines with spicy or auspicious dishes. very pronounced taste.
Now let’s start as it should with the starter: a fresh and young wine will be the perfect accompaniment. The color of the wine will change depending on the ingredients of the starter: if the wine is to accompany charcuterie, it will be red and rather spicy.

When it comes to cheese, red wines are generally on the menu. However, they should not be too tannic. However, a sweet white wine will be absolutely fantastic with a Roquefort, a goat or blue.
