Wine recommendations for an aperitif
Something fizzy in a glass is always a good idea as a prelude. You can start almost any meal with a fine sparkling South African MCC or a fortified sweet wine. If you prefer a light red wine to start with, you can also start with that. Because whatever tastes good is allowed!
Wine with food
