“歪果仁”镜头下的春节美食——家家春酒满银杯

Torin Nielsen

隨着中国新年的临近，许多人都会抽出时间去拜访亲朋好友和家人，大家一起享受节日欢乐的气氛。在节日期间，美味的菜肴和各种各样的酒怎么搭配才能更美味、更出彩呢。虽然说经典白酒或几瓶清淡啤酒可能会出现在大多数人的餐桌上，但葡萄酒也正在成为更受追捧的搭配。由于新年大餐的种类很多，葡萄酒的种类也很多，要找到完美的搭配可能比较难，但也并不尽然。

饺子就酒，越吃越有

在新年的庆祝活动中，饺子是一种常见的食物，新年的饺子怎能少了香槟与之相配呢？ 一款好的起泡酒在酒体上虽然清淡，但能提供丰富的水果味，与饺子的清淡味道相匹配。当然，如果你的饺子味道比较重，又喜欢就着大蒜和醋，那就试着选择霞多丽（Chardonnay）或雷司令（Riesling）之类的无气泡酒。雷司令（Riesling）的甜度有很多种，一定要搭配“Halbtrocken”（德国的半干型）。而我更喜欢口感丰富的“卡比内特”。

酒配汤圆，团团圆圆

汤圆是甜甜的，所以可以找一款甜味的酒与它相配。在与甜点搭配时，经典法则就是选择比你上的菜更甜的葡萄酒。从这个意义上说，摩斯卡托是完美的选择，因为它的甜味不会太重，也不会有糖浆味，又有明亮的果味，和汤圆一起会很配哦。

排骨和红酒，口感更搭

麻辣的红烧排骨绝对是一道口味较重的肉菜，不配红酒就可惜了。像这样味道丰富的猪肉菜，配上不含单宁的味道浓郁的红酒会很好。可以试试西拉（Syrah） /设拉子（Shiraz）或果味歌海娜（Grenache）。这两种葡萄酒都有很浓的李子味，能和猪肉的丰盛相调和。

酒就年糕，年年高

年糕是节日期间会经常享用到另外一种甜食。虽然通常也可以选择一款比年糕更甜的葡萄酒做搭配，但在这种情况下，也可以选择一款褐色的坚果味葡萄酒来搭配。坚果味的香气与红豆年糕的香甜混在一起，口感十分丰富。

在节日期间，最重要的是和所爱的人一起享受节日，分享快乐的时光。对于这些搭配，其实就是去尝试和学习新的方式来享受节日的美食与美酒。

As the Chinese New Year fast approaches， many of us will take the time to visit friends and family to enjoy the festive spirit. With the holiday comes delicious cuisine and joyous conversation over an array of alcoholic beverages. While a classic bai jiu or several bottles of lager beer may be on most dinner tables， wine is becoming a much more sought after pairing. Since there are many types of New Years meals and many types wine， finding the perfect pairing can be difficult， but it doesnt have to be.

With most New Years celebrations， Dumplings are a common serving， and what better to serve on New Years than Champagne. A good sparkling wine is light enough in body but still offers enough fruit flavors that it will balance well with the light flavor of dumplings. If youre dumplings are a bit heavier in flavor with more garlic and vinegar try venturing to a still wine like Chardonnay or a dry Riesling. Riesling can range in in sweetness so be sure to go with something thats “Halbtrocken” or German for half-dry. I prefer a nice “Kabinett.”

Tangyuan， a sweet dumpling can also find a drinking companion in sweeter wine. The rule of thumb when paring to a dessert is to choose a wine that is sweeter than the dish youre serving. A Moscato would be perfect in this sense as it wont be heavy or syrupy but offer bright citrus sweetness that will shine alongside these sweet dumplings.

The sweet and spicy Hongshao Pai Gu is definitely a heavier style meat dish that can bring Red wine into the fold. A pork dish like this is packed with flavor so a heavier red that isnt to tannic will do nicely. Try a Syrah/Shiraz or a Fruity Grenache. Both wines tend to have deep plum flavors that will blend with the richness of the pork.

Nian Gao is another sweet dish you might enjoy this holiday. While the rule may be to choose a wine sweeter than the dish youre eating， in this instance a nutty Tawny Port to compliment the richness of a nian gao. The nuttiness of a tawny balances really well with a red bean paste nian gao.

During the holiday its most important to enjoy it with loved ones and share happy moments. With any of these pairings it is best to experiment and learn new ways to enjoy the food and drinks of the holiday.
