Temperature
The temperature at which you serve your wine will affect its aroma, taste and presentation.
White wines served too cold lose many of their flavours and aromas. However, you still want
to serve your white wines colder than your red wines. Serving white wines at a lower
temperature brings out their natural fruity, fresh, and sweet characteristics. Since most home
fridges are kept at around 4 C, its best not to serve your white wines right out of the
refrigerator. Removing your white wine from the refrigerator 30-60 minutes before serving
should bring them to about the right temperature (12C).
If your white wine has been kept at room temperature, place it in the refrigerator or ice bucket
for 30-60 minutes before serving.
A good sparkling wine (champagne) is best served just a hint colder than a white wine (9C).
You can usually drink your sparkling wine right out of the fridge, but you may find its
flavours are enhanced if you let it stand for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Dessert wines: in general, if your wine is lighter, fruitier, and younger, it should be served
slighter cooler. If its older, heavier, and more complex, it should be served slightly warmer.
An exception, of course, is ice wine, who by its very name indicates it should be served very
chilled, even more so than sparkling wine.
Food pairing
Wine food pairing preferences are very individual. However, certain food groups simply pair
better with certain wines types.
The easiest to notice is that red wine goes with beef and white wine goes with fish or chicken.
But food wine pairings are not this simple.
Instead, look for a wine with the flavors, aromas and weight that most closely match the
characteristics of your meal.
Match your meals sauces and spices to a wine, rather than the protein. For example, a spicy
fish will go better with a red than a white. But if you are eating a white fish with a delicate
sauce, a Chardonnay should be just fine.
Food wine pairings can also be made by region. For example, choose an Italian wine, perhaps
a Chianti, to go with your pasta dishes.
Meat stews, casseroles, steaks, roasted pork, beef, poultry, lamb or game and the Hungarian
sausages are a major part of Hungarian cuisine. The mixing of different varieties of meat is a
traditional feature of the Hungarian cuisine. Goulash, stuffed peppers, stuffed cabbages can
combine beef and pork, and sometimes mutton. In very exclusive dishes, fruits like plums and
apricots are cooked with meat or in piquant sauces/stuffings for game, roasts and other cuts.
Various kinds of noodles and dumplings, potatoes, and rice are commonly served as a side
dish. The Hungarian cuisine uses a large variety of cheese, but the most common are cottage
cheese, cream cheeses, ewe-cheese, and the Hungarian cheeses Trappista and Plpusztai and
Pannonia cheese.
Hungarian food is often spicy, due to the common use of hot paprika. Sweet (mild) paprika is
also common. Additionally, the combination of paprika, lard and onions is typical of
Hungarian cuisine, and the use of the thick sour cream.
Drinks:
The best-known wines are the white dessert wine called Tokaj (North-Eastern region of
Hungary) (Tokaji) and the red wines from Villny (Southern part of Hungary).
Hungarys most notable liquors are Unicum, a herbal bitters, and Palinka, a range of fruit
brandies. Traubi or Traubisoda, is a Hungarian soft drink produced in Balatonvilgos.
Some sweets:
Stove cake or Chimney cake, cooked over an open firea Transylvanian specialty, famous as
Hungarys oldest pastry.

After World War II Indians and Chinese immigrants introduced the locals to garlic, chilli,
exotic sauces, and much more. Today, Thai, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and French
influences are also in the English menus.
Traditionally, English food uses lamb, beef, pork, chicken and fish. The meat is accompanied
by potatoes (in various forms) and one vegetable. Because all of these products are from the
country, they are of the best quality.

Meat pies (Steak and kidney pie with peas and carrots, steak and ale, chicken and
mushroom, meat and potato)

can order a glass of grog, a beer cocktail such as Black Velvet or Freddie Bartholomew, or a
