Snacks & sips: which wine to pair with potato crisps?

Wine pairings are an art in themselves. It is not for nothing that every self-respecting restaurant has sommeliers and sommelières whose (sole) task is to accompany the culinary voyage of discovery with the appropriate wines. Imagine a humid Friday evening with invited guests, all of whom know a little too much about wine. Chips of different flavours are laid out in beautifully decorated bowls for aperitivo. Sound familiar? Sure, but which wine goes with which chips now? Falstaff is happy to help with the epicurean partner search.
