Is it true that you can only use a white wine with certain foods?
Answers:
Good question and this can be as simple or as complex as you like!
Once you know a certain wine you know when it will suit certain foods (or drink alone), regardless of "rules" etc.
A basic guideline is:
Sweet wine with sweet food
Sour foods with acidic wines
Bitter with bitter
Salty food with acidic wines
Red wine with red meat
White wine with white meat
I go against the rules often when I feel like a certain taste.
And these days regional wines can taste very different to their traditional variety of grape.
Experience is the key, so practice, practice, practice...responsibly of course!
