What drinks to enjoy with

Fish and seafood can play a variety of roles in the diet, depending on the overall design of the menu. They can be part of the main course, the starter or have the function of appetizers. Combined with a good wine, they are a real delight for the senses.

Usually, white wines are the most often chosen pairing to fish delicacies and seafood. The reason lies in one of the basic principles of pairing foods with wines - heavier flavours suit heavier drinks and vice versa. Fish dishes, on the other hand, are among the lightest foods of animal origin and it is the gentle white wines that manage to awaken all their flavours.

Medium-bodied fish fillets, such as trout, can also be served with sweeter wines such as German Riesling. A quality rosé, on the other hand, could be added to tuna. Sparkling white varieties are also a good choice, and almost universal when it comes to seafood.
