Best Wine Pairings For Your Next BBQ Party

Summer is in full blast and so is the BBQ season! Whether you are grilling burgers, salmon or corn on the cob, we have got you covered with some delicious wine pairings for every type of BBQ menu.

Wine Pairings For Grilled Meat And Poultry

From juicy burgers to tender lamb chops, from succulent steaks and flavourful kebabs to crispy grilled chicken, here are some great wine pairings for your next meat feast.

Mildiani Mukuzani 2018, Georgia, red, £16.95 (OFFER PRICE)

Made of Saperavi, Georgia’s hero grape, this stunner of a wine is juicy and sexy. Black fruits, chocolate and vanilla on the nose. Soft tannins and fresh acidity on the palate. Robust and full-bodied, it remains elegant and graceful. Just what you need if your BBQ menu includes lamb chops or lightly spiced kebabs.

Vourvoukeli Limnio 2017, Greece, red, £19.95

This fresh and fruity red from northern Greece bursts with aromas of forest fruits, strawberries and raspberries with a touch of sweet spices. Robust tannins and rich flavours make it a great companion for grilled steaks and burgers.

Van Ardi Reserve Areni Limited Edition 2016, Armenia, red, £32.25

Aromas of dark cherries, notes of chocolate and a touch of oak are enhanced by ample freshness on the palate – trademark of Areni Noir grape. If you have decided to splash on venison steaks, this is the wine for you. It is marvellous with game meat, but will go well with grilled pork chops and beef steaks too.

Orbelia Via Aristotelis Cabernet Franc 2018, Bulgaria, red, £19.95

With juicy aromas of morello cherries, cranberries and currants, spiced up by black and white pepper, this is a perfect option for grilled pork chops, as well as for grilled turkey or chicken. Hints of aromatic herbs and a savoury character make it equally great with lamb or, indeed, roasted vegetables.

Zambartas Koukouvagia, Cyprus, red, £13.95

The problem with this outstanding value, fruity red is that it is so easy to drink that you may easily run out of it before the food is even served. We do recommend stocking up, so that you have enough to pair with your burgers too. Generous flavours, ripe tannins and a juicy palate make this wine a perfect companion to grilled meat.

Wine Pairings For Grilled Fish And Seafood

Whether you fancy tuna steaks, grilled lobsters, barbecued prawns, or maybe all of the above, here are some fantastic wine pairings which will take your seafood feast to a whole new level.

Mildiani Tsinandali 2018, Georgia, white, £14.95 (OFFER PRICE)

This Georgian beauty shows aromas of fresh grapes, quince and wild flowers. It tickles your palate with vibrant acidity and leaves a mouth full of flavours. Enough body here to stand up against grilled tuna and salmon.

Oxney Estate NV Organic Sparkling, England, brut, £29.95

This crisp sparkling is refreshing, mineral and incredibly food-friendly. It is a great match for grilled sea bass and dorado, as well as crab, lobster and other kinds of seafood. Oxney NV is equally delicious on its own, as a pre-BBQ aperitif.

OuSyra Serifiotiko 2021, Greece, white, £24.55

You may not even need to sprinkle your fish with lemon and salt: this wine has it all. Citrusy, bone dry, lean and mineral, this is a stylish expression of a rare Greek grape, Serifiotiko. The vineyard’s proximity to the sea brings up a refreshing minerality and salinity on the palate. A perfect seafood wine!

Vlassides Grifos 2020, Cyprus, white, £15.99 (OFFER PRICE)

Made of Xynisteri, an ancient Cypriot grape, this is a great wine to enjoy in the sunshine. Delicate aromas of citrus fruit, white peaches, kiwi, freshly cut grass and crisp acidity make it a hard-to-beat pairing for seafood served with fresh salads.

Georgiev & Milkov Pet Nat Funky Mavrud, Bulgaria, £21.00

We are big fans of this delicate and complex Pet Nat, and how can you not be? With seductive aromas of red berries and citruses, gentle fizz and vibrant acidity, it really punches above its weight and offers way more than you can expect from this style of sparkling. Try it with grilled scallops, crab or prawns for an ultimate seafood and wine heaven.

Wine Pairings For Vegetarian BBQ

Wondering which wine to serve with that grilled halloumi and those roasted aubergines? Here are some fantastic wine pairings for your next vegetarian BBQ party.

Mylonas Malagousia 2021, Greece, white, £15.95

This is a very elegant expression of Malagousia, with beautiful aromas of ripe stone fruits, hints of spring flowers and aromatic herbs. A rich palate, vivid acidity and a lemony aftertaste make it a great match for grilled asparagus, artichokes or any other grilled vegetables. It is also marvellous with grilled halloumi and salads.

Voskevaz Urzana 2017, Armenia, white, £18.95 (OFFER PRICE)

This aromatic wine is made of an Armenian indigenous grape, Muscat Vardabuyr. Expect bright notes of tea rose petals, flowers and citrus fruit, contrasted nicely by the wine’s freshness and vibrant acidity. It is an unbeatable match for flavourful Asian food, so yes, here is a wine for that spicy grilled panner tikka.

Mildiani Bouquet Qvevri Kisi 2014, Georgia, orange, £33.95

This magnificent Georgian orange wine shows generous flavours of apricots, mango, lime and orange, enhanced by the ‘qvevri’ notes of walnuts, honey and sun-dried herbs. Fresh and full-bodied, it is great with grilled halloumi, grilled portobello mushrooms or corn on the cob.

Havlabari Cellars Pirosmani 2018, Georgia, red, £17.45

Who said that vegetables can only be paired with white wine? This fresh, playful red is great with grilled aubergines, zucchini or bell peppers and it is just perfect with spicy bean burgers. Serve it slightly chilled and expect captivating flavours of cherries, raspberries, figs and a refreshing palate. Oh, and if you are serving some berries for dessert, this is another great wine pairing.
