The ultimate pairing guide: the best wines for meat and offal

Ulrich Sautter, Benjamin Herzog, 13.12.2023

The food is already simmering quietly on the stove, but what should you get out of the cellar? The Falstaff overview on the kitchen pinboard serves as an informative sommelier.

If it is braised or fried, then go for a Merlot-accented Bordeaux, Merlot del Ticino, Nordrhône-Syrah, Blaufränkisch or a more rustic Burgundy. Beef from the grill goes well with Malbec and Chianti Classico Riserva. Boiled meat goes well with Grüner Veltliner, pot-au-feu with Beaujolais Cru, Barbera, Sangiovese and a mid-range Bordeaux.
