Fish and Wine – A Classic Pairing
While fish and wine go together naturally, all wines aren’t equal. Some wines and fish go together better than others. As you choose the ideal combination, keep in mind the type of fish, the cuisine flavors, and the acidity levels.
For a sure bet, choose white wine to pair with fish, but if you must have a red wine, look for one with a low tannin level.
