Pairing Wine with Fish & Seafood | Wine Recommendations

Fish and seafood deserve a wine that respects and accentuates their delicate saline flavours.

Vibrant whites with energy and freshness are perfect partners to fish recipes. Light reds such as Lagrein works well with dense, meaty fish, like tuna or salmon. Don’t underestimate elegant sparkling wines; they can work wonderfully with fish dishes and lend a decadence to the evening.

Read our tips below in order to learn the best wines to pair with fish dishes.
