You are planning a romantic dinner or you just want to prepare a delicious food for the family while also considering the most suitable drink? Even though it sounds like a hard task, the combination of pasta and wine is very nice and follows a clear logic. The important thing is to match the taste of the chosen spaghetti or macaroni, their ingredients and sauces to the specifics of the drink.  Look at our propositions for combining pasta with wine or other drinks and enjoy the wonderful moments with the people close to you!

Spaghetti or macaroni with tomato sauces

If you are making pasta with tomato sauce you could serve it with a smooth and aromatic red wine.  The important thing is to have a balance between the dish and the drink, in order to enjoy an amazing lunch or dinner. The acidity of the tomatoes is wonderfully compensated by the red wines with medium body. Have you added a bit too much spices to the sauce so it is slightly spicy? You can choose merlot which would perfectly match the cooked pasta.

Pasta with cream-based sauces or seafood

For the fans of pasta with seafood or spaghetti with cream-based sauces and cheeses – we recommend the choice of white wines. You should always try to match the rest of the ingredients in the recipe with the character of the drink. The light and fruity wines are especially irresistible with spaghetti with mushrooms as well as with deliciously cooked root vegetables. Bet on Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc for pasta with seafood. We advise the fans of beer to settle on a fresh and light, low alcohol options. The taste of the food is supposed to stand out.

Spaghetti or macaroni with pesto

Have you decided to prepare a culinary masterpiece with pesto? The rich aroma of such pasta would require a special wine. For example Rose or Syrah, which would be a suitable “company” for the thick sauce. You like Chardonnay and want to have a glass while eating pesto: make sure the wine is without oak because it would taste a bit sourer due to herb sauce of the pasta.

Cheers and Bon Appetite!
