Wines and Chocolates Types

Red Wines

Red wines often match well with dark chocolates but there are a couple of exceptions. Cabernet Franc with extra creamy milk chocolate is a heavenly wine and chocolate pairing.

White Wines

White wines are somewhat tough to pair with chocolates. While white wines have a light body, which goes very well with milk chocolates, most are too dry to be served with chocolate. But there are some truly amazing combinations as well, like Chardonnay paired with French Vanilla). If you are feeling adventurous, you might also experiment with white wine and white chocolate pairing.

Dessert Wines

Dessert wines don't really adhere to any rules about wine and chocolate pairings. Champagnes seem to go well with almost any type of chocolate, while Port and Sherry are on opposite ends of the chocolate spectrum.
