Let's talk about the basics of red wine and food pairings! Red wine can be a bit tougher to pair with dishes than white wines because of their higher alcohol and tannin levels, as well as the fact that they have lower acidity. However, there are some really great red wine pairings out there if you follow a few principles, such as pairing tannin with fat and matching the weight of the wine with the weight of the dish. So whether we're talking Cabernet Sauvignon and steak, Chianti and tomato sauce, or Pinot Noir and salmon, this video will teach you how to get the best combinations of food and wine around! We'll go over 3 different styles of red wine, light-bodied, medium-bodied, and full-bodied, and what types of foods pair with each!
