The easiest way to pair wine with BBQ is to match the food’s character with the wine’s structure.
Smoke → Syrah or Rioja; Lemon & herbs → Sauvignon Blanc or Albariño; Sweet BBQ → Zinfandel or Primitivo; Seafood & veg → crisp white or rosé; Dessert → lightly sweet wine
Off-dry Riesling is the best all-round wine for spicy food because its refreshing acidity and gentle sweetness help balance chilli heat while complementing aromatic flavours. Gewürztraminer and sparkling wine are excellent alternatives.
A juicy beef burger pairs best with a fruity, medium- to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon blend or Malbec, whose ripe fruit, firm tannins and lively acidity complement rich meat and savoury flavours. For alternatives, try Syrah or, for lighter or non-beef burgers, an oaked Chardonnay.
Corsica is a Mediterranean island producing fresh whites, elegant reds and fragrant rosés from native grapes, combining mountain freshness with sunny coastal ripeness.
