Cheatsheet on Cooking With Wine

I personally can never remember what wines are typically the best to cook with certain foods... hence when I came across this cheatsheet I thought why not post it and never have to guess again at my next meal!


Tips on matching wine with food when cooking:

If the recipe calls for red...
1.) Full-bodied red wine - Cabernat, Bordeaux, Syrah & Zinfandel
2.) Young, robust red wine - Rioja/Tempranillo, Beaujolais Nouveau
3.) Medium-bodied red wine - Merlot, Shiraz & Chianti

If the recipe calls for white...
1.) Dry white wine - Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc or dry Riseling
2.) Fruity white wine - Gewurztraminer, Riesling or Viognier
