The magic of pairing desserts with wine
Desserts can be enjoyed in a different way than pairing them with dishes or rice.
The trick to pairing wine is to consider the sweet and salty elements when pairing it with dessert.
Sweet dessert wines are recommended for salty sweets. They bring out the flavor of the sweets and the juiciness of the wine. On the other hand, pairing sweet wines with fruit will cause the wine to lose its freshness, so a crisp, dry wine is recommended. Sweet sweets will also offset the sweetness with sweet wines, so it is best to pair them with rosé or dry sparkling wine.
Additionally, red wine with strong tannins is a perfect match for chocolate sweets, as it harmonizes with the rich, full-bodied flavor of the cacao.
In this way, by pairing desserts and wines appropriately, you can harmonize the sweetness of the dessert, enhance the richness of the wine, and increase the satisfaction you feel when drinking.
When enjoying sweet treats at home, it's nice to pair coffee or tea with sweets, but sometimes it's also a good idea to enjoy a luxurious adult moment with wine and dessert.
