Salads & wine – light, fresh, sophisticated combinations

Salads are more than just side dishes – they can be light, elegant or surprisingly aromatic. In the Salads & Wine category, we show how varied and exciting this combination can be: from crisp leaf salad with a fine dressing to Mediterranean compositions and lukewarm lentil or pasta salads with cheese, fish or meat.

The art lies in the right pairing: fresh, acidic white wines, fragrant rosés, taut orange wines or even a fine sparkling wine harmonize perfectly – depending on the dressing, structure and aroma of the salad.

Whether as a starter, light main course or part of a summer menu: Here you will find inspiring recipes and matching wines that show just how sophisticated light cuisine can be.
