Wine and Cheese: Make the Perfect Combination


Ordering wine in a restaurant is not much different than buying it in a wine store. The main difference is that you have an audience. Yet ordering wine in a restaurant can be intimidating especially if the wine list is extensive.





Wine and cheese parties, which were popular in the 70s, are gaining back their popularity in recent times. The ability of the two to bring out each other?s best is simply indescribable. Another good thing about cheese and wine parties is that they're appropriate for any season or any reason.





Unfortunately many people get confused with the wide array of cheese and wines available. Many are confused about which kind of cheese to serve with which type of wine. Luckily, wine and cheese matching is simple, and in no time, you can host a very enjoyable wine and cheese party.





When it comes to cheese and wine parties, the first rule is simple and direct to the point: never used those cheap boxed wines. Wines that come in boxes are definitely convenient to open, but that?s about it. In order to bring out good combinations of flavors in cheese, or any food for that matter, you should pair it with the real deal.





The basic rule about pairing food with wine is that you shouldn't overpower the other. This is especially true with cheese. The flavors of cheese shouldn't dominate the taste of wine and vise versa. The pleasures of each bite of food should replace the delights of each sip of wine and conversely the bliss of every sip of wine should replace the delights of every bite of food. Simply put, strong cheeses should pair well with strong wines, while mild cheeses would go well with mild wines.

Acidic wines go perfectly well with pungent cheeses. Brie goes well with sparkling wine or Chardonnay while goat cheese matches well with Sauvignon Blanc.





Sweetish wines go perfectly with soft cheeses. A slice of Camembert goes well with Chenin Blanc or Vouvray.





Full bodied red wines pair perfectly with hard cheeses. Red Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Red Zinfandel, could do wonders with a sliver of Parmegiano Regiano or Romana cheese.





Even the humble common cheese like cheddar could be paired well with sweet wines such as Port, Vermouth, and Sherry. Aged cheddar, with its sharpness, could go well with a glass of Shiraz Cabernet, which is equally tangy.





When it comes to cheese and wine pairing, the best guide is one?s taste. If it seems good, then it must be a good much. Of course it takes time to discover the good matches, so one should not despair with a few errors in matching.





Corkage



Many restaurants will open and serve a bottle of wine brought by the patron. A quick call to the restaurant will confirm if this is possible, and if so, they will charge a corkage fee. They usually charge between $5 and $15 per bottle, although some restaurants will charge a lower fee if the wine brought is not on their wine list.





In a matter of time, you can be an expert cheese and wine matchmaker.

Wine Could Reduce High Level of Cholesterol



Cholesterol control could be an enjoyable experience for those who take liquors, as wine is the newly inducted remedy for controlling high cholesterol. It sounds unbelievable but it has been proven that intake of wine could reduce high level of bad cholesterol. So, wine helps in preventing coronary artery diseases.


Although it's not medically preferred but for those who already are in a habit of taking wine, this finding is merry making. They need to regulate the amount of wine consumption though. This remedy serves the purpose only when taken in a regulated amount.


Usually doctors don't suggest wine remedy to those who are wary of consuming liquors but on few occasions doctors have been found recommending red wine to curtail a surge in LDL, the bad cholesterol. Folks who already take alcohol are advised to keep moderate level of wine consumption to keep LDL under control. If taken limitlessly, wine could act contrary to what it is suggested for.


Wine could control total cholesterol by increasing a little amount of HDL or good cholesterol that lowers down bad cholesterol level in blood. HDL does so by bringing LDL back to liver from blood, reducing thereby the total cholesterol level. Wine could affect cholesterol in other ways too. Like, wine usually comes with anti oxidant elements and certain other chemicals such as resveratrol and flavonoids which directly attack bad cholesterol and eliminate it from arteries. These elements including Vitamin E are found in wine and serve as anti coagulants, preventing the plaque formation in arteries. It shows that wine by regulating LDL could save you from danger of coronary artery complications.


While consuming wine you are not meant to take more than two pegs a day. What specifically comes to your rescue in case of high cholesterol with probably negligible side effects is one or two drink of red wine. Along with resveratrol red wine comes with chemical called saponins that happen to be a prolific LDL eliminator. Catechin is another beneficial content of red wine that serves the same purpose. With constant but regulated intake of red wine you lessen your chances of developing cardiovascular problems by thirty percent. You must not wonder about efficacy of red wine in cholesterol control as it is extracted from red grapes that already happen to be a natural cholesterol reducer.


A moderate amount of wine often tend to reduce over all fat content of body that also result in reduction of total cholesterol.


To sum up, wine consumption if incorporated in your life style would probably keep you away from high cholesterol and related complications. However it's not a preferred practice and American Heart Association is quite wary of this peaking connotation of wine's efficacy.
