Which wine with sushi?

I can't call myself a huge sushi fan, but I do appreciate it from time to time. A good California roll. or crispy spicy tuna I wouldn't turn it down. As for the wine and food pairing, you can go with anything, as long as you keep it relatively neutral. You often eat several types of sushi in one meal, so the wine needs to be flexible enough to handle that. In Japan, they often choose saké, the rice wine, but if you don't like that, you can try the suggestions below.

Always good: Champagne

Let's get straight to the point: sushi and champagne are a match made in heaven. Choose a champagne with a low dosage , so an extra brut or even a brut zéro. This brings out the acids and minerals and is perfect with raw fish. A more economical alternative is a good crémant .

Tight & dry from cool climates

You can go in many directions with tight and dry, right? Think of Sauvignon Blanc (according to The Wine and Food Bible Menetou-Salon is particularly good with sushi. Gruner Veltliner also scores highly.

Both wines often have a greenish flavor, which pairs well with the avocado and cucumber in the sushi. Very different, but certainly interesting: assyrtiko from the Greek island of Santorini.

Tropical & happiness: vinho verde (from alvarinho)

Vinho Verde is best described as a tropical surprise. A tropical surprise with a fresh breeze, but with a hint of lime and orange freshness. Along with a dollop of tropical fruit and a touch of floral notes, they complete the experience.

Vinho Verde is a young wine from Portugal. Loosely translated, it means "green wine" and in this case refers to the early harvest of the grapes. The vinification method also creates subtle bubbles. It's a light wine, wonderfully refreshing, and, in my opinion, a perfect pairing with sushi.
