Red wine and cheese pairing

Red Wines

Bold, complex, and sophisticated. Non-alcoholic red wines offer the same depth and character as their traditional counterparts, perfect for pairing with hearty dishes.

Perfect Pairings

  • Grilled beef steaks and lamb chops
  • Slow-cooked beef stew and braised dishes
  • Roasted chicken and turkey
  • Aged cheeses and beef charcuterie
  • Mediterranean lamb tagine

Pro Tip

Let red wines breathe for 15-20 minutes before serving. Even though they're non-alcoholic, this allows the flavors to open up and develop complexity.

White Wines

Crisp, refreshing, and versatile. Non-alcoholic white wines pair beautifully with lighter dishes and are perfect for warm weather dining.

Perfect Pairings

  • Fresh seafood and grilled fish
  • Roasted chicken and turkey dishes
  • Creamy pasta and risotto
  • Fresh salads with citrus dressing
  • Soft cheeses and vegetarian dishes

Temperature Matters

Serve white wines well-chilled (45-50°F) to enhance their crispness and acidity. Store in the refrigerator and serve immediately.
