WHAT TO DRINK WITH STREETFOOD

Flavour-packed streetfood, such as burgers, chicken wings and nachos, deserves to be enjoyed with a glass of something good while you’re licking your fingers. Here are some ideas from the pros

SPICY CHICKEN WINGS + GEWÜRZTRAMINER

“The residual sugar in the wine will complement the spices used on the wings beautifully.”

– Pearl Oliver

PORK BURGER + CHARDONNAY OR SEMILLON

“A citrusy, wooded, cool-climate Chardonnay or Semillon will cut through the richness of the pork and complement the guacamole, too.” – Athule Kamanga

PREGO ROLL + ALBARIÑO “Garlic is one of the toughest ingredients to match as it can be overwhelming and kill the wine completely. I like the Newton Johnson Albariño, which has fresh lime that will tame the garlic.”

– Joseph Dhafana

MAC ‘N’ CHEESE + CHENIN BLANC

“This is a perfect duo. The fruitiness and acidity of the Chenin Blanc will work well with the creaminess of the cheese sauce.” – Nondumiso Pikashe

BUNNY CHOW + RIESLING “The spices and heat of the food will certainly meet their match with the bold fruit of this fine grape.” – Aubrey Ngcungama

NACHOS + CHARDONNAY “The raw tomato in the salsa adds acid to the food. Break it down with a citrusy Chardonnay, which also works well with the guacamole and sour cream – Chardonnay always loves creaminess.” – Athule Kamanga
