White wine
Ordinary white wines are suitable for lighter foods: hors d'oeuvres, fish with sauce, mayonnaise, caviar, boiled and roasted poultry, brain, lamb grill, mushrooms, zucchini burek, breaded cauliflower, vegetable puree with eggs, pasta, noodles, pie, strudels, cake, semolina halva, etc.
Fine white wines are drunk with pleasure when serving biscuits, Easter cakes, pastries, cakes and other similar desserts.
White wines are served chilled to 8-10 degrees. That is why it is good during the hot summer days and in the heated salons in the winter to put the bottles of white wine in a bowl with crushed ice, which is placed in the middle of the table.
It is not good to cool white wine by putting pieces of ice in the glasses. It thins and loses its taste.
Colorless glasses with chairs, most often in the shape of a tulip, are suitable for white wines.
Rose
Rose wines can be served with sandwiches, sausages, cold tongue, cold duck, stuffed eggs, roast lamb, etc., as well as desserts, pastries or light afternoon snacks.
Red wine
Red table wines, which are rich in tannin, go well with dishes made with fatter meats. Tannin removes the feeling of heaviness from the ingested fats.
Red wines are served in cylindrical or conical glasses with or without a stool.
Bottles of red wine are brought into the salon or room a few hours before serving to reach room temperature. They should not be heated in a pot of boiling water or wrapped in a towel soaked in hot water. This way of warming changes the bouquet of the wine. If the wine needs to be warmed up quickly, it is poured into a heated glass or enameled vessel, but even in this case its taste decreases.
Pamid wine
Pamid wines are suitable for dishes prepared with meat from young animals and birds, such as: roast lamb, Hungarian lamb leg, stuffed lamb shoulder, milk casserole, all kinds of young beef kebabs, sarma liver, stuffed gherkins, baked cauliflower and other similar dishes.
Gamza
Gamz wines are suitable for dishes with meat from older animals: pork chops, beef cutlets, sausages, beef with potatoes, liver, stuffed spleen and more.
Melnik wine
Due to their great tartness, Melnik wines are suitable for dishes prepared with fatter meat: roast pork, fatty pork chops, Balkan lamb, fatty duck, turkey, ham, pork with rice and others. Mavrud wines are also suitable for such dishes.
Dessert wine
Special (dessert) wines are served when serving dessert, as well as in the afternoon snacks or late at night at friendly meals, formal receptions and more.
Carbonated water is available with the wine.
The choice of dessert wine by type, sweetness, strength and color depends on the type of dessert served.
On fruits, biscuits, light cakes, kisses, nuts, creams, cakes and more. white dessert wines are suitable.
Red dessert wines are suitable for heavy cakes - baklava, roaring, kadaif, bine souffle, butter cake, etc.
Champagne
At the end of a friendly or family celebration, as well as at the end of an official banquet, serving a glass of champagne raises the mood and complements the pleasure of lunch or dinner.
Champagne can also be served at an afternoon party with fine small cakes - such as petit fours, walnut dry cakes, cookies, light cakes, apple croquettes and more.
When opening the champagne bottles, the cap must be prevented from escaping under the pressure of carbon dioxide, during which part of the wine flows out. Therefore, after removing the wire basket from the throat, it is good for someone to hold the cap with his hand.
Champagne is poured into the glasses from low, without shaking. The poured wine is drunk quickly, but in sips, not all at once. If it is poured into the glasses, its taste deteriorates.
Wormwood
Bulgarian wormwood - plain or bitter, can be served as an aperitif during a meal. It replaces white and rosé wines and competes with red wines when serving fatty dishes with its freshness and bitterness.
