It might be difficult to match wine with fish or seafood. We're here to assist you. Don't worry if you're feeling overwhelmed by the plethora of wine pairing possibilities. Here's a guide to wine and seafood combinations, as well as some of our favorite bottles.
Is red or white wine better for seafood?
It is all up to your taste buds but white wines are mostly a better choice. White wine is a good match for fish, but it's more nuanced than that. White wines do not all taste the same, and "fish" might refer to anything from salmon to scallops.
Is Chardonnay good with seafood?
Tuna and salmon, for example, mix well with a creamy white wine such as oaked Chardonnay. Chardonnay is also a nice pairing with white-fleshed fish in a butter-based sauce. Here are some good examples
LA CREMA CHARDONNAY
La Crema Chardonnay has a citrus, honeysuckle, and yellow plum aromas, as well as luscious tastes of nectarine, apricot, and pear. This wine from the 2018 vintage offers lively acidity and a silky finish. If you want to treat yourself to an amazing pleasure, try a glass of chilled La Crema Chardonnay.

What other wines go with a seafood platter?
