In order to find an answer for the question what would be the best choice of drinks for Christmas or New Year\u2019s celebration? – you need first of all to decide what are you looking for? To eat a lot of tasty things with no matter what to drink, or to have a smart, intelligent food and drink pairing?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Any Sparkling will be fine<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

For both cases Sparkling is what we begin with. Take what you like, if you are a beginner and prefer sweet, then no need to recommend brut or extra-brut. Since all wines are good if they are of a fine quality and therefore they have their admirers. We love sparkling symbolically, but also visually. It turns out that sparkling and celebration are a pairing that goes way because of the sound of clinking glasses that overflows in abundance and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food \u2013 wine enemy<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

With\nyears on traditional New Year\u2019s menu in Moldova and on all post-soviet\nterritory we serve usually such food, as \u201colivie salad\u201d, \u201cherring under shuba\u201d,\nor smoked varieties of herring accompanied by green onion, black olives, aspic\nwith garlic, and different pickles. Most of this food will not make a good\nmatch with elegant, expensive wines that has to impress with their refined\nflavors and tastes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So,\nsuch wines associated with specific food is not a reasonable decision, because\nfood full of strong flavors will distort the taste, as salted herring can give\nmetallic taste to the wine and combination with garlic it\u2019s useless to mention.\nSo, wasting money on something that will disappoint it\u2019s not a great idea since\npurpose of smart food & wine pairing is to enjoy both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what to drink?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

You asked. If you are craving for all this \u201cwrong\u201d,\nbut tasty to your senses food, then you can choose strong alcohol, such as\nvodka with a clear, neutral taste. In the same segment there is a big choice,\nbut the divines or cognac are also unsuitable, because it\u2019s difficult to\nappreciate their bouquet. Generally speaking, divines and cognac usually are\nserved after the meal along with dessert, coffee or cigars. And of course if\nyou didn\u2019t have dishes with garlic or smoked fish, that can cover your tasting\nreceptors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat less, eat better<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can try think over New Year\u2019s menu so that some\ngroups of dishes can be combined with one wine, then you will get\nenogastronomic combinations. Even if there are only two or three types of wine\non the table, they will not interfere with each other if you can guide serving\norder. But also under one condition \u2013 there has to be no food ingredients from\nthe list of wine killers. Leave them for regular dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why to turn the New Year\u2019s Eve into a feast of stomach,\nsince you are not eating usually by nights? It will be better for your health\nif the menu is not very plentiful, but well planned out. Let some food choices,\nbut with good wines in a perfect combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish you the first morning of the New Year to wake up in good health!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
