I know you're supposed to drink red wine with pork and beef, and you drink white wine with chicken and poultry, and you drink rose wine at parties or if
you're gay. What I don't know is what to do with tofu, since I don't eat meat. Should I base the wine on the heaviness of the sauce? Does it go
with white wine because it's light? Also, what goes with a vegetarian pasta? I SO don't know.

Wine makes me gag... at least the last time I had it. My taste buds could've changed.
I went wine testing a little after my 21st birthday and tasted all these gag reflex wines... so nasty. The bar tender saw I didn't like it and asked me if I would like to try another drink and I was like no thanks, I had enough gaging for the night eek... and then he was like well I know something you'll like and then I was still like no thanks and he was like it's really good... and he asked me if I wanted peach or raspberry.. I said peach because I love peaches, I tried it and was impressed (it was a beer)... this person from another table had raspberry and offered me some and I loved that way more than the peach. Yummers! <3

Either works and Nubber's right - the rules no longer apply. But if you go with red, it has to be quality to prevent headache. So choose white if you
want sex.

The trashiness in this thread is DISGUSTING. MD 20/20 is clearly for retards.
Also, I don't get headaches or hangovers EVER. <3 Irish and German liver <3 |

serious answer: depends on the sauce and seasonings
not all poultry requires white wine - turkey can be paired with a red wine Food&Wine Pairings Tofu & Wine Pairings (click on the recipe and expand the wine pairing tab on the right) |

The day of the wine snob is gone. You can drink your favorite Spanish Rioja with chicken/white fish etc or tofu/anything vegetarian if that is what you enjoy.
It is fun for a special occasion to try and do courses with wine pairings and I highly recommend it (investigating the wines for each course is a day of fun
in itself if you can take the time to go talk to a good wine seller), but for a dinner party with family or friends serve a couple of different options of
white and red and let your guests choose what they prefer. It relaxes everyone and makes for a more fun evening.
