Drink pairing tips for Barbeque

  • Go for Rosé with grilled turkey burger

    For an elevated experience, pair your grilled turkey burger with Rosé. This combination works particularly well because this pink wine battles the grilled flavours.


  • The perfect match for your bulgogi

    When ordering bulgogi, experts suggest pairing it with a glass of Chilean Shiraz, a popular red wine.

  • Sauvignon Blanc and pork ribs with a barbecue rub


    A pork ribs with a barbecue rub can be tricky to find a white wine pairing for. We would suggest trying Sauvignon Blanc. It will pair nicely with the food and complete the meal thanks to its acidic.
