What wine goes with seafood
Seafood almost always calls for a dry white with high acidity. Oysters go with Chablis, Muscadet or sparkling; prawns and scallops with Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio; crab and lobster with a fuller Chardonnay.
What pairs with what
| Type | Wine | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Oysters, mussels | Chablis, Muscadet, sparkling | Minerality and acidity echo the salty freshness |
| Prawns, scallops | Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio | A light, fresh white does not overwhelm delicate flesh |
| Crab, lobster | Oaked Chardonnay | Body and butteriness for sweet, dense meat |
