Who doesn’t love a glass of wine with dinner? We sure do, and the world of wine pairing is such a fun thing to explore where you can mix and match different wines with different foods and find some excellent combinations.
However, keep in mind that there are some foods that simply do not go well with any type of wine. Here are some that you should choose a different drink to enjoy with.
Sushi
Contrary to popular belief, you probably do not want to pair sushi with wine the next time you have this special Japanese treat. Why? Well, the complex flavors of fish, sushi rice, and seaweed are unique and hard to pair with, and wine even has certain compounds that can give fish a metallic aftertaste while drinking it.
Brussel Sprouts
Not all people enjoy Brussel Sprouts, and even those who do will readily admit that this vegetable is not for everyone. Earthy and even a little bit sulfurous, drinking wine with these little green guys is an experience that leads to a strange taste that you may not enjoy.
Chocolate
Can you believe it? Even though chocolate and red wine are often touted as an ideal pairing, the reality is that if you want to enjoy the best of both your chocolate and wine, it’s best not to mix them. The fattiness of chocolate and its own tannins can leave a sour taste in your mouth while enjoying wine.
