…the basic rule of wine pairing says that you should have a red wine with beef and white wine with chicken or fish. But what about a spicy meal? And spicy includes both highly spiced foods and those hot and spicy foods. These foods can easily overwhelm a wine. But pairing options with hot and spicy foods may surprise you because it’s not going to be the big bold wines that work best.
One food and wine pairing that works with almost any meal is a sparkling wine. And it works especially well with spicy foods.
If you’re a spicy food fan, take note.
