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.

Dry bubbles cut through frying oil and complex sauces — the workhorse for any Chinese banquet.
White · Medium · Off-dry
Lychee, rose petal, and a touch of ginger; medium-bodied, low-acid, and unmistakable. The wine for any cuisine where the spice cabinet did the heavy lifting.
Why it works with Chinese Pork Ribs
Aromatic white meets Chinese five-spice and sweet-sour preparations at their level.

Clean white refreshes between rich Cantonese dishes without competing.
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.

Light red with bright cherry — flatters pork without overwhelming.
