The best wine for spaghetti
Three things that can affect wine pairings are sauce, seasoning, and the presence of meat.
Since most types of pasta are made with an acidic tomato sauce , you need to pair it with an acidic red wine, preferably Merlot, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Nebbiolo, or an acidic white wine such as rose, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, or Sauvignon Blanc.
If your spaghetti contains meat , you must pair it with a medium or full flavored wine such as Chardonnay, White Rioja, Rhone White or Riesling.
If your spaghetti is simple and cheese based , any light white eg Chardonnay, Riesling or red wine eg Pinot Noir, Lambrusco will enhance the creaminess of the cheese.
