There is extensive literature on the subject of "the right wine for a meal", with sometimes diametrically opposed recommendations. Even professionals such as sommeliers in award-winning restaurants often give very different recommendations. Does this mean that it doesn't matter which wine is drunk with which dish? In principle, the very simple rule can apply: "Whatever tastes good goes". But there are actually a number of dishes that virtually demand a certain type of wine. There are some basic rules for enjoying several wines. However, the following explanations should at best only be understood as a suggestion, because drinking wine and eating is first and foremost a pleasure through the senses and not a purely "objective" and measurable scientific matter.

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
