Wine and bouillon pairings

Clear broth and wine are not a happy marriage. If you are looking for a wine that really goes with a broth or consommé, you should try a dry Sherry or Madeira.

We usually drink a white wine with a clear broth. Because we had already poured it before the soup was on the table, for example. But that is rarely a good combination. The saltiness of the broth and the acidity of the wine simply do not go well together. A dry Sherry (for example a Fino) or a dry Madeira are better able to reach the broth with their salty notes. Especially if you have used some of that Sherry or Madeira in the soup.
