Enhance the flavour and enjoyment of your next takeaway meal with the perfect wine pairing takeaway guide.
Whether you are having a night off from the kitchen or you’ve invited friends over for a takeaway meal, you want to boost the meal with a complimentary wine. But it’s not always easy knowing which wine to select. When you are buying wine online, choose ones that are a good match with your favourite takeaways, so you always have a bottle or two on hand. The Margaret River wine region has wines that pair perfectly with all takeaway meals.
Italian
If you are partial to pizza, choose a good red to match. There’s no need to choose an Italian wine for the perfect pizza pairing when your fine red can be found much closer to home in Margaret River. A wine that has good acidity will cut through the fat in the melted cheese and compliment the acidic tomato paste on the pizza. Avoid wines with high tannin levels as this can give the tomato a metallic flavour. Margaret River reds have good fruity flavours, just right for pizza toppings. A red such as Mad Fish Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot for such
Fish and Chips
You can’t get a heavier takeaway meal than fish and chips, so you want to keep your wine quite light but also an acidic wine to cut through the fat content of the deep fried meal. Just as you use a wedge of lemon to season your fish, fresh whites with citrus flavours such as a sweet white MadFish Riesling are an ideal match.
Thai
The punchy flavours of a good Thai curry need to be matched with its wine equal. The heat in the food can make some wines seem harsh and acidic, but you can’t go wrong with a Rosé. The fruit flavours and dry character compliment the flavours, texture and chilli in Thai food. Enjoy your MadFish Rosé chilled and it will work wonders with whatever Thai dishes you choose – stir fry, noodles, curry or salad.
Indian
Like Thai you want to stay away from highly tannic reds that can conflict with your Indian curry. The complex and rich aromatic flavours of Indian food pair nicely with a dry Riesling. Tomato-based sauces can have an acidity clash with red wines making them taste metallic or hollow. Fresh fruit flavours of your Riesling will compliment your rich, spicy Indian meal.
Chinese
If it’s Chinese cuisine you’re ordering in, think about the main dishes you have ordered. There are so many different flavours in Chinese cooking that make wine selection difficult; from the hotter Sichuan-style style dishes to the delicate flavours in seafood dishes. An aromatic Margaret River white blend works well with the widest range of Chinese dishes.
American
If you’re hankering for hamburger night at your place, you don’t necessarily need to pair it with a lager; there are plenty of good wines to consider. A beef pattie hamburger has bold flavours that can stand up to a bold red wine so choose a Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon from the Margaret River region.
Next time you are buying wine online, consider the types of takeaway meals you enjoy most often. Follow our suggestions and buy a few bottles of Margaret River wine that you can keep on hand so when it’s time to order your meal, the ideal bottle is ready to roll.
