Pairing wine with the PREGO menu:<\/p>\nTry to focus on pairing the strength of flavours, weight and intensity of the dish in question with the wine. Wine and food are meant for each other; each enhances and strengthens the experience of the whole, they bring out the best in each other.
\nConsider whether a dish is \u2018light\u2019 , ‘medium’ or ‘heavy’ in nature – in general, look to pair a crisp, lighter-style wine with a light dish, a medium-style wine to pair with a slightly fuller dish, and a full-bodied wine to go with and complement a richer, heavier more intensely flavoured dish – and so forth…
\nFactors to take into account – are you starting with shellfish or seafood cooked simply and served on their own or with a salad with a lemon dressing. They work well with wines that share a natural undertone of acidity (e.g. Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling or Pinot Grigio). Think about the key flavours in a dish the same way you think about the flavours in wine – as families of flavours.\n\t\t\t\t\"Prego-Bottle-Image-02.2\"\n\t
