Myth #5: Red wine with meat, white wine with poultry or fish.
Frankly, this myth is a bit dated and I think most people accept that you should just drink what you like. That being said, wine can be a valuable tool to enhance a meal, and a well-matched pairing can be the glue that brings everything together.
There are many different theories and methods on pairing food and wine, but there is one basic rule I employ that has never failed me: If it grows together, it goes together. Basically, if I am eating a cuisine from a specific area, I try to select wine from that area as well. The flavors often work together and you can spend more time enjoying the meal and less time over thinking it.
