Glasses of wine

Sang An

Conventional wine wisdom states that red should be served with red meat and white with white meat. But, really, what's most important is that you're pleased with what's in your glass and on your plate. Thankfully, on this all-inclusive holiday, there's room for everything. Open a bottle of red, white, or rosé wine, beer, or even hard cider. Or if specific recommendations put you more at ease, consult the list below for new ideas.
