The natural choice for tapas, this versatile fruity wine also pairs well with meats such as pork and rabbit

A full-bodied glass of bubbly can be a fantastic food partner, particularly with canapés, salmon and seafood

Dry semillon is the ideal match for fish and seafood, while its sweet form is perfection with foie gras and cheese

Sauvignon’s tangy, grassy qualities make it ideal to drink with asparagus, shellfish and all kinds of herby dishes

A natural fit with Tuscan trattoria fare, sangiovese can also do justice to a juicy steak or duck breast

From aromatic Thai curries to traditional pork chops, this perfumed grape enhances a wide variety of flavours

This luscious, complex wine is at its magnificent best when matched with red meat and well-hung game

A great food-friendly wine, merlot’s sweet fruitiness is a perfect foil for earthy game birds and juicy braised beef

This rich, fruity wine complements the creaminess of cheese and is the ideal companion to a curry
