Grilling gives food rich aromas of fire and smoke. Your beverage should be similarly full-bodied, but can also be relatively smooth.

Pale, fresh and mild cheeses are best enjoyed with similarly fresh and mild beverages. For example, a crisp and acidic white wine, a light red wine, or a flavoursome beer.

You can enjoy a broad range of beverages with savoury snacks. They are often served before the main meal, so your beverage should be mild and fresh.

Pasta itself has a neutral flavour, so your choice of beverage will largely be influenced by the other ingredients, such as sauces, fillings and spices. To accompany pasta and pizza, it’s worth choosing a beverage that has the same level of richness as the food.
