Wine and borscht pairings

Borscht, cold beetroot soup of Russian origin, is not so easy to combine with wine. If you do take up the challenge, it is best to choose a fresh white wine. This could be a fruity Blanc de Noir. Alternatively, you could choose a soft, somewhat velvety red wine.

A white wine from Sauvignon Blanc is a relatively safe choice. Or, for example, a German Blanc de Noir from Spätburgunder. And then of course there are many white wines that are less well-known but do fit this flavor profile. If you go for red, consider a soft Merlot.
