It's been a few weeks since the threat of the Covid-19 pandemic, and we've been taking longer times in the confines of our houses. Let's be honest; almost all of us are bored and have too much time in our hands. It's understandable we all want to go outside and possibly take ourselves somewhere lovely.

However, an undeniable threat still lingers. We have no choice but to force ourselves to stay inside for safety.

Fortunately, one way we could do to rid ourselves of the blandness of staying indoors is to enjoy good food, especially ordering from various restaurants and waiting for your food to be delivered. In this article, we will tackle which beginner-friendly wines are best paired with food delivery options.

Prosecco

The Prosecco is a sparkling wine selection made from the Glera grapes in Italy. It is a sparkling white wine bearing fruity and sweet flavours with a hint of lemon or green apples. Prosecco wines are easy to appreciate for beginners, and it's not too intense with the taste. They compliment certain fish and meats and are best served with dinner.

Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio is a wine that’s perfect for beginners. Made from the Pinot grape, this wine features subtle and clean flavours. It’s also relatively easy to come by since it’s one of the most famous varieties of white wine in the US.

Less intense and comfortable to drink with its mild flavours, the Pinot Grigio is a refreshing drink that is crisp and zesty. This wine is best paired with seafood, especially cooked fish, sushi, and shellfish. For those who don’t enjoy seafood, chicken also works well with a glass of Pinot Grigio.

Cabernet Sauvignon

This selection is for people who prefer a more vibrant but still beginner-friendly taste. Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that features not only high tannin and acidity content but with hints of fruity flavours ranging from plums to berries.

With different variations from different producers and origin, Cabernet Sauvignon may also come with vanilla, coconut, and chocolate flavours. Overall, this wine is fit for people with prior experience in wine drinking, but beginners may appreciate its intensity, especially if paired with meat.

One of the best Cabernet Sauvignon wines is from Screaming Eagle. It’s one of the best wines out there and can become a major investment. You can find Screaming Eagle wine for sale from well known wineries. 

2015 Caymus Special Selection

A critically acclaimed wine selection, the 2015 Caymus Special Selection is for wine enthusiasts and experts longing for great wine at the dining table. This selection blends selected fruits and spices to give off a fresh-cooked caramel scent.

The 2015 Caymus has a supple taste with a rich concentration of ingredients and sufficient intensity.  The wine is perfect for dinners with big steaks and juicy dishes served for the main course. Now you don’t have to go out to experience a fancy restaurant setting.
