About Matching Food & Wine

As someone who came to wine via my passionate interest in cooking and eating out I’ve always thought of wine in the context of food rather than in terms of scores and this site is all about how to enjoy your wine - and other drinks - more.

It’s been going for 18 years now so I think I can honestly say its the most comprehensive source of information on the subject of food and wine pairing out there.

Of course the main purpose is to help you find a match - or several possible pairings - for a dish or meal you’re planning to make or a wine or beer you want to show off so hit the Find a Match section for that.

If you’re simply casting around for inspiration browse through the Match of the Week and Top Pairings sections which should throw up plenty of new ideas.

Top pairings, as the name suggests, is the key content on the site which really digs deep into a dish or drink so you’ll need to buy a bundle of credits to access the articles in that but once you’ve paid for them you can go back and access them again and again.

If you’re new to wine and have questions to ask you may find the Wine Basics section helpful. 

In the Entertaining section you’ll find seasonal menus and ideas for special occasions such as Chinese New Year, Easter and Christmas while if you’re after a new recipe to refresh your repertoire try - obviously enough - Recipes.

Finally if you’re a member of the wine trade or hospitality business there’s a special section for you called Wine Pros which contains slightly geekier stuff about wine dinners, clever pairings and the other things your competitors may be getting up to. Obviously you don’t have to actually be employed in the industry to read this - it’s for keen amateurs too!

By the way if there’s something you think is missing on the site or a particular subject you’d like me to cover just get in touch via the contact page.
