Wine enemies

Colloquial term for dishes, spices and fruit that require particularly careful selection of the matching wine or that do not go well with wine at all due to flavour disharmonies. These include above all dishes or ingredients with a high acid content, or which are very strongly flavoured, fatty and/or oily. In such cases, a wine, no matter how good, may not come into its own or may even be disappointing.

Weinfeinde - Chili (Peperoni), Ölsardinen, Eierspeise, Orangen, Salat (Essig)

These include pineapple, artichokes, chicory, chilli peppers, curry, egg dishes, ice cream, vinegar, fruit sorbets, herring, blackcurrants, mayonnaise, oil sardines, oranges, cranberries, salty dishes, sour salads, chocolate, spinach and citrus fruits. In contrast, there are dishes that can be combined very well with a suitable wine. See under wine lovers and wine with food as well as pests and diseases in the vineyard under vine enemies.
