Finding just the right wine to compliment a meal makes both the vino and the food taste better. But we’re not always sitting down to a fancy dinner when we enjoy a glass, so here are some wine pairings for the junk food you eat in your everyday life.
Ice cream - When you’ve had the kind of day that only wine and ice cream will fix, these are the perfect pairings:
- Nestle Drumstick - Chardonnay
- Creamsicle - Riesling
- Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia - Port
- Klondike Bar - Cabernet Sauvignon
Pizza - Pizza and wine make a great combo. Here’s how to match your pie to your vino:
- Cheese pizza - Pinot Noir
- Pepperoni pizza - Syrah
- White pizza - Champagne
- Veggie pizza - Chardonnay
Doughnuts - These two might not sound like they belong together, but if you like wine and you like doughnuts, why not bring them together with these combos:
- Glazed doughnut - Chardonnay
- Jelly filled - Rose
- Chocolate frosted with sprinkles - Prosecco
- Boston Cream - Port
Kids’ leftover snacks - Little ones ask for snacks constantly but hardly ever finish them, leaving you to have to clean up their leftovers. So make these hand-me-downs better with these wines.
- String cheese - Chianti
- Clementines - Chardonnay
- Goldfish crackers - Cabernet Franc
- Carrots and hummus - Riesling
