Wine and ansjovis pairings

If you want to serve a wine with a dish containing anchovies (for example, a salad or a snack with anchovies), it is best to choose a white wine with fresh acids or a dry rosé.

When we think of anchovies, we think of the anchovies that you buy in a tin. These anchovies are quite salty and give your dish a specific accent. Dry white wines with fresh acids go well with such salty dishes. For example, wines from Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling meet this profile. But there are many more white wines that form a good wine-food combination with anchovies. Think of the fresh white wines from Spanish Galicia or the sparkling fresh wines that are made on the Portuguese coast. These wines are often served with fried fish and also go well with anchovies. A rosé is an alternative, provided that it is quite dry and also has a tight, light white bubble.
