Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Red · Medium · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.
Why it works with Peking Duck
Cabernet Sauvignon Nw gives Peking Duck a structured partner — fruit and tannin without aggression.
Sparkling · Light · Dry
Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.
Why it works with Peking Duck Buns
Dry bubbles cut through frying oil and complex sauces — the workhorse for any Chinese banquet.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Peking Duck
Chardonnay's body and quiet oak echo Peking Duck's richness; the acid resets the palate between bites.

Why it works with Peking Duck
Chardonnay Nw (full-bodied, Fruity)'s body and quiet oak echo Peking Duck's richness; the acid resets the palate between bites.
Red · Medium · Dry
Tempranillo-based blend from northern Spain, traditionally oak-aged into something quietly profound. Cherry, dill, vanilla, leather; great with lamb, paella, and aged Manchego.
Why it works with Peking Duck
Medium reds like La Rioja White hold up well to Peking Duck, especially when roasted or grilled.
Red · Medium · Dry
Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.
Why it works with Peking (beijing) Lacquered Duck
Medium reds like Merlot hold up well to Peking (beijing) Lacquered Duck, especially when roasted or grilled.
White · Light · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.

Clean white refreshes between rich Cantonese dishes without competing.
White · Light · Dry
Sancerre's cousin across the Loire — Sauvignon Blanc with a smokier, flintier profile. The 'fumé' in the name refers to that struck-match minerality.
Why it works with Peking Duck
Pouilly-fumé's brightness lifts Peking Duck cleanly; the acid frames the meat without crowding it.
White · Light · Off-dry
Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.
Why it works with Peking Duck Buns
Off-dry Riesling tames sweet-savory Chinese sauces and handles ginger-garlic heat.
