Wine For Weeknight Meals

By kenny

Who says dinner needs to be fancy to be great? Some days, there’s nothing better than a simple, satisfying meal to wind down. Long day? Feeling drained? A glass of good wine and your favourite comfort food might be just the thing you need.

Forget the gourmet, sometimes the best pairings are the ones that make you feel right at home.

The Humble Potato

Simplicity is key, and sometimes, all you need is a cheesy jacket potato with beans. For this warm hug of a meal, we love curling up with a bottle of Vina Costeria Mencia. From its earthy notes of freshly picked berries to its bright acidity, coupled with its balanced smooth tennis make this wine the perfect match for that hearty spuds and beans combo.

The Adult ‘Happy Meal’

Freezer raiding? Do it right. Chicken nuggets and chips are a midweek classic, add a glass of bubbles and it’s a treat. Bornos Brut Nature brings bright Verdejo all the notes expected from Verdejo, dried pineapple, lemon, and buttery pastry, thanks to traditional bottle fermentation. The crisp acidity cuts through golden salty chips, while the breads notes match perfectly with crispy nuggets. Simple, satisfying, and seriously good.

The Classic Spag Bowl

Is there anything more likely to stain your white t-shirt, yet bring pure joy, than a bowl of spaghetti bolognese? From the first twirl of spaghetti to the last spoonful of bolognese, Inurrieta 400 Crianza is the perfect match. Bold tannins and oak bring rich tomato leaf and pepper notes, complementing every fork-twisting bite. Expect a powerful red with depth and complexity, balanced by soft red fruit and a long, cherry finish.

The Saucy Slice

Whether it’s delivered, homemade, or straight from the supermarket, there’s no better pairing for pepperoni pizza than Albariño. Why? The peppery bite of the pepperoni is softened by the buttery richness of Andion Albariño, while its zesty apple, lemon, and lime notes cut through the melty cheese and oily pepperoni for a clean, refreshing finish. A pizza night, redefined.
