Food & Wine Pairing Method
A great infographic for National Drink Wine Day (February 18), the Food & Wine Pairing Method is a new poster from Wine Folly that shows all of the compatible and Best wine matches for different foods and preparation methods.
See the theory of food and wine pairing in action with this easy to use chart. Then, understand the simple science behind food and wine pairing based on our basic sense of taste.
You can learn the fundamentals of how taste components like sweet, sour, spice, bitter and fat go together. Then, try pairing wine by letting the characteristics of your food suggest your wine.
Available for purchase for $24, it’s also available as a high-resolution download so you can print out your own personal poster.
The design is very clean and colorful. The circles in the table only have two different sizes, small and larger. There can be many small circles to show all of the compatible wines, but only one “Best” match shown with the large circle. The multi-ingredient direction down the left side are easy to understand, but it is still a little difficult for readers to visually compare rows that are not adjacent, and far apart.
