Helpful Infographic Perfectly Pairs Wine with Food

[Zurca]

Whether you consider yourself a wine connoisseur or not, you could probably use this infographic to learn a thing or two about the liquid of the gods. How many calories does a typical glass of white wine versus red wine have and, more importantly, which wine should you pair with tonight's dinner? Sure, you may know that rich meats go with a bold red and that sweet desserts pair well with a dessert wine but what should you drink when you're dining on a cream-based pasta?

Wine Folly has created this beautiful chart to show us the answer to that question and more. See below for the full version.

additional info...Dessert Wines

Dessert wines can be white and red in color. The white dessert wines are served chilled while the red dessert wines are served at the room temperature. Dessert wines go well with the fresh bakery sweets and fruits. It is also advisable to serve heavier taste for the winter season and lighter taste for the summer season.

Dessert wines have aromas reminding of orange peel, mango, apricot, quince, fig, raisins, honey or caramel. It is recommended to combine also dessert wines with creamy desserts. Fats and intensive cheeses match very well with sweet white dessert wines.
