Beverages for socialising are usually uncomplicated, with easily approachable flavours that don’t necessarily need to be accompanied by food. They also include beverages that suit a party atmosphere.

Pork is milder than, for example, beef. So your beverage choices should also be on the lighter side.

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.

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.
