How to choose a good wine for dinner in Israel

Picking the right wine for dinner only seems complicated at first. In practice, a few simple rules are enough to choose a bottle that flatters the food and makes the evening better.

Red wine — for meat

If you're cooking grilled meat, steak or shashlik, lean toward reds. They have richer flavor and pair well with heavier dishes.

Especially popular are dry reds from:

• France
• Spain
• Italy
• Chile

White wine — for fish and salads

For fish, seafood and light salads, whites are usually the call. They refresh the palate and suit Israel's warm climate. Chilled white is in high demand in summer.

Sparkling — for celebration

For a romantic dinner or a celebration, sparkling wine is an easy pick. It sets the mood and works equally well with appetizers and desserts.

The main rule

If you're not sure what to choose, anchor on the occasion, the dish, and your personal taste. You can also ask an expert for help.
