Wine with fish — three rules that never fail
Match the weight, not the colour
A delicate white fish wants a light, crisp wine; a rich, saucy dish can take something fuller. How heavy the plate feels matters more than whether the wine is white or red.
Fresh acidity does the work
A wine with bright acidity acts like a squeeze of lemon — it lifts the fish and cuts through fat and cream. That's why crisp whites pair so easily.
When in doubt, Chablis or Sauvignon Blanc
Two nearly fail-safe choices with almost any fish or shellfish. If you remember only one thing from this page, remember these two.
