The Chinese Winter Cuisine Wine Pairing Ideas

The Chinese Lunar New Year is a time to celebrate reunion, warmth, and balance. ❄️

Families gather to enjoy comforting winter foods to welcome the longer days ahead. A popular festive meal is Poon Choi– a massive casserole composed of layers of delicious ingredients like seafood, meat, and vegetables. It is typically served in a large wooden, porcelain, or metal basin called a poon.

Other traditional dishes include winter soups, hearty seafood and meat dinners, dumplings, and Tangyuan (sweet sticky rice dessert balls). 

The French Flair team has curated a selection of wines — red or white — all versatile and perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes. 🍷✨
