Drink pairing tips

  • A great drink pairing for pork in sticky soy glaze

    Knowing what to pair with pork in sticky soy glaze can be tricky. It’s worth exploring some white wine, particularly a glass of Riesling. This, off-dry, white wine balances the sweet and tangy pork in sticky soy glaze.

  • Pair Blanc de Blanc with dim sum

    A dim sum can be tricky to find a sparkling wine pairing for. We would suggest trying Blanc de Blanc. It will pair nicely with the food and complete the meal thanks to its sweet.

  • The perfect complement to siu bao


    When having siu bao, experts suggest you pair it with a glass of Chardonnay, a popular white wine.
