Pairing wine with Fish

Nothing says ‘I love you mum’ more than a meal cooked from the heart. Whether you are treating mum to a Mother’s day brunch or rustling up a beautifully home cooked three-course dinner, she’s sure to feel extra special.

Pairing wine with fish can be quite daunting but it doesn’t need to be. Although we automatically think to pair fish with white wine, it’s good to know that fish can also hold its own with a good blush or sparkling wine too. Take a look at our quick guide to pairing wine with your home cooked Seafood.
