The food we cook. This happens because not everyone is an expert wine drinker and often we drink it without even know its origins or how it is made. Every kind of wine has different features, different flavors and aroma, and to be sure to serve the right kind of wine with a special meal, you need to keep in mind to follow certain, basic rules.

Choosing the perfect wine for a meal is really important to underline a meal flavor and to guarantee a perfect dinner.

There are some basic rules to sparkling wine follow to match food and wine, and even if you are not an expert and you will to have a memorable dinner party, you can follow them and be sure to serve wines properly.

First of all, it is important to match light-light and heavy-heavy. White wines (as Prosecco, Champagne, rose, light red wines, etc) can be served with light meals. Red wines, as Bordeaux, matches with rich food.

Then you have to remember that if you want to serve more than a kind of wine, you have to serve the driest first and at the end the sweetest, choosing to serve the light one before the heavy ones. You have to follow this rule to be sure to match the wines properly with the meal you prepare for your dinner. Starting from appetizers and ending with dessert, you have to choose the perfect wine for each course, let's say a prosecco to start with appetizers, a fine red wine with the main course, and a full-bodied wine for your dessert.

If you cook white meat, fish or vegetables the perfect wine will be a white one and the same thing is true for the red meat. So with chicken you can serve a good bottle of Prosecco or another white wine, while with red meat a red wine will do the job.

Remember that if you have a good, fine, quality wine with an intense and special flavor which is the real protagonist of your meal, remember to serve it with light food to avoid is flavor to be covered by spicy or too strong foods. Fine wines are perfect to be drunk with vegetables, fish and food not too spicy to be tasted perfectly by your guests.
