Our Favorite Foods to Pair with Wine Are . . . Wings and Mac-and-Cheese
Wine and cheese are a classic pairing. But add two more words to that, and it’s a lot less classy. A new poll found the top food men like to pair with wine is . . . MAC-and-cheese.
The #1 choice for women isn’t much better . . . it’s CHICKEN WINGS. Which you could argue is even trashier than mac-and-cheese. (I’m not sure I’m buying this poll. How many women out there are really sipping Chablis while scarfing hot wings?)
The poll also found 80% of us don’t follow the classic wine etiquette rules: 44% hold the glass by the bowl instead of the stem . . . 43% sometimes add ICE to their wine . . . 32% never swirl or sniff it . . . 25% are chuggers, not sippers . . . and 10% of Americans admit they usually drink their wine out of a coffee mug.
