BBQ

BBQ refers to food that has been cooked over some kind of grill and now contains the charred, smoky notes of the grill. This style of cooking requires a wine pairing that will stand up to and complement those big flavours.

If you are grilling fish or poultry, try an intense white like an assertive German Riesling with a smoky character or an oak aged Chardonnay.

For red meat, go for your favourite big bold red such as new world Shiraz, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon.
