Is there a seasonality to wines?
Yes, of course, the change of season also brings with it a change in wine preferences. In summer, people drink more thirst-quenching and lighter wines such as white and rosé wines, sparkling wines and sparkling wines. These wines are usually served at lower temperatures - thus better suited to the summer heat. However, with the arrival of the cold winter air, the desire to spend more time at home by the fireplace, with family and friends, increases. On these occasions, the most pleasant wine is the full-bodied, dense red wine that gives a feeling of warmth and fullness.
The ideal wines for winter are the warm red wines with very intense and pleasant aromas that have a good structure and persistence with a good alcohol content. These wines go very well with soups, meat dishes, red meats, stews, braised dishes and fatty and spicy cheeses.
For those who are not yet ready to give up white wines, they can easily switch from light, fresh wines to richer, more generous wines aged or fermented in wood, which can be excellently paired with fish dishes, white meats, creamy soups and cheeses.
And bubbles at the end!
Those who are particularly fond of sparkling wine do not have to give it up just for the coming of winter. Sparkling wine works twelve months of the year and is perfect for any celebration and toast.
