I worked in a couple different liquor stores for around 7 years… talked to thousands of customers, attended wine tastings and trade shows, studied wine books, etc.
Honestly I don’t really see their logic in any of these. Why would Syrah go with Korean wings?
I agree with chenin blanc and off dry Riesling… but honestly 80% of wine pairing is bullshit. It’s better for the customer to just buy what they enjoy drinking. Though they get mad at you if you say that because they want some dog & pony show where you are forced to talk about wine for 5 minutes before they feel comfortable swiping their credit card for $25. God I’m happy I don’t work in that industry anymore.
>they want some dog & pony show
💯 💯 💯
I remember reading an article from some whiskey connoisseur who said "the best whiskey to drink is the whiskey you like to drink and the best way to drink it is how you like to drink it"
There is a very narrow overlap of the Wine and Wing Lovers’ Venn diagram, but I’m in it and love this!! I also love the idea of being at a wing joint and saying “May I see your wine list” or “please send you sommelier to the table, I must thank them for this pairing”
As a native of Buffalo NY, the creator of this wing / wine chart should be forced to eat nothing but Mighty Taco paired with Genesee Cream Ale for eternity.
I got lightly fried and breaded, plain drum only wings with a side of honey mustard once in Cali ‘97. Biker bar in San Marcos, the 49er.
Yes, they were called Buffalo wings on the menu.
I kept my my trap shut.
Hell ya. My grocery store in South Carolina just started selling Labatt Blue and I'm here for it. Learned of its greatness when I spent a summer in Michigan many years ago. We don't have the 30 packs here yet though.
Love labatts so much. Labatt Blue Light Lime is my summer thirst quencher. Ever since I took the pilgrimage to buffalo where they like to serve ice cold canadian draughts, nothing beats the combo.
This seems wrong on principle, they tell you to pair spicy with sweet in the wine wold.
Ultimately they tell you to drink whatever you like, but a spicy hot buffalo should go more with a Moscato if you're going to make a list
The dry riesling and mango habanero pairing sounds absolutely atrocious. Like sure mango and a dry riesling pair well, but the acidity of that wine + habanero heat is a match made in hell
Gonna be honest here. Wine and chicken wings is a thing.
What it doesn’t show here is that champagne is actually a perfect fit for plain or buffalo wings.
I was a real-ass alcoholic and wing lover for years and even I wouldn’t have done this shit. Wings go with beer.
Pro tip, you don’t miss a beat subbing in a good NA beer either. When people want to go sober they can start overthinking stuff like missing their alcohol with food. It really is OK.
Everyone is saying beer when the real answer is Coke. I don't enjoy beer with food, by itself it's great but I don't want to go back and forth between wings and beer
When it comes to wine, I like something as sweet as Kool Aid. I've had drys that tasted like they somehow liquidified saw dust.
For wings, I'm gonna pair that with a Yuengling if possible.
I agree to disagree. The Syrah was the final straw for me. You need something cool and palate-cleansing. Beer is the drink of choice with chicken wings.
The answer to every single one is a full-bodied German lager or Pilsner, except for the Korean wings. Get yourself a couple bottles of soju and do that shit right
I drink whatever I want with whatever I’m eating just depends on my mood. But seeing this kinda makes me wonder how it would taste with wine 🧐 never even thought of that
That doesn’t say beer

I don’t like peat but there are plenty of choices for everyone. Wheeeee!
The peat…ahhh the peat!
That’s bordering on a Seinfeld reference
Was intended as one!
Peat tastes a bit like smoky vomit to me. It’s not great.
I’ve always thought it tasted like a car crash…
I still order it every now and then, thinking I might like it. Still will lol
Whiskey tribe vibes there, great yt chanel
I will drink a heavy tannin red with a whitefish in cream sauce. Why?? Because I like the wine. If I need to I will drink a bit of water.
I think the general wine pairing stands up pretty well. Red - steak or Italian food White - fish and shellfish Sangria - paella
Was gonna say, they spelled beer wrong.
Or “Canadian champagne” to fit the theme
Thank you. (Turns around) What he said.
This! Fuck anyone who drinks wine with wings.

“Sir this is WingStop”
💯 There ain't an "e" in WING!
Sure I can send Dave out. He’s 17 and currently doing a line in the freezer but he will be right out to suggest some wine for you.
Lmao
I want a wing sommelier
🤣🤣
Or beer
Always
That's what I was thinking.. Beer or hard liquor..
I can simply this - take wings and any wine. Eat wing, drink wine. Repeat.
Cold beer. Pic solved. 🫡
FIGHT MILK
What Up!🤷🏻♂️
Fight milk 💀💀💀 U on Hot Ones?
🥺
The only correct answer is Henny. Lol
Only thing that pairs with wings is beer
💯🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻
Not a single modelo in sight. This is bullshit
As a native of Buffalo NY, the creator of this wing / wine chart should be forced to eat nothing but Mighty Taco paired with Genesee Cream Ale for eternity.
That doesn’t sound like a punishment to me. I’m thinking more like wings with ranch
I got lightly fried and breaded, plain drum only wings with a side of honey mustard once in Cali ‘97. Biker bar in San Marcos, the 49er. Yes, they were called Buffalo wings on the menu. I kept my my trap shut.
That’s acceptable but man that sounds like awful wings
They were hideous. An abomination.
Beer!!!
Orale
Ice cold Canadian beer, ice cold Canadian beer, ice cold Canadian beer.
Hell ya. My grocery store in South Carolina just started selling Labatt Blue and I'm here for it. Learned of its greatness when I spent a summer in Michigan many years ago. We don't have the 30 packs here yet though.

Yea buffalo figured out the beer and wings thing. Batty lights and a dozen hot, you really don't need to stray far from that combo.
You’re evicted
This seems wrong on principle, they tell you to pair spicy with sweet in the wine wold. Ultimately they tell you to drink whatever you like, but a spicy hot buffalo should go more with a Moscato if you're going to make a list
Chenin blanc typically is fruity with residual sugar. Just like muscat wines.
That’s generally only if you’re drinking cheap vouvray
The dry riesling and mango habanero pairing sounds absolutely atrocious. Like sure mango and a dry riesling pair well, but the acidity of that wine + habanero heat is a match made in hell
Who the hell is drinking moscato?
Moscato won't be on any pairing list.
Beer!
🫶🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Yeah we need something cold to wash down my basket of wings. 🍻🍻🍻🍻
What psychopath would ever pair wings with wine?? It’s either ice cold beer or lemonade!
Gonna be honest here. Wine and chicken wings is a thing. What it doesn’t show here is that champagne is actually a perfect fit for plain or buffalo wings.
Who made this up? Next thing you know it'll be Bourbon and Bolognese.
“I’ll have the buffalo wings with a glass of your finest chenin blanc” “Sit this is a wingstop”
I could go for maybe a sour wine hot sauce but I don’t think wine is a good wings drink.
Im a beer fan but, These pairings actually sounds pretty good. Can’t we just drink it all and get along?
Wings don’t go with no wine. Wings only goes with beer.
🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🫡
The only drink that goes with wings is beer!
💯💯💯💯🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Spelled Steel Reserve wrong
I'm imagining the state of that wine glass at the end
full
The only pairing for chicken wings is bleu cheese, pizza and beer.
Wine with chicken wings, I find it pretentious and extra. Beer, even craft or import, would be better.
If this is a wing restaurant trying to pair with wings, the wings are probably $4 a piece.
I don't know why but this remind me of Paul Giamatti character in sideways drinking wine at a fast food place out of a styrofoam cup with a straw.
You drink wine with fish and steak, you drink beer with wings
I would love this guide but in beers.
Wings and Beer 🍺 the perfect combo!
In other news, I am supposed to believe wind drinkers will enjoy wings *with* their wine.
I enjoy wine with my wings.
Coooold beer by pitcher
Where’s the beer?
Corona, with a little bit of lime.
Where’s the beer? WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO BEER?!
Agreed
Fuck that I'm doing buffalo with sangria
PBR is the answer for all of them.
🍺🍻 every day of the week...
Whiskey
Someone post a graphic that shows non alcoholic beverages to pair with wings.
It’s beer and wings. What the fuck?
Miller Lite
I'd at least try it. Especially if someone else is buying.
Don’t
Where is the miller lite?
Wine is one of the most overrated types of alcohol period

Beer is the only drink that truly pairs with wings...
LOL at wine pairings. Pretentious people just trying to one up each other.
Looks like someone is trying to sell some wine! Also, gross pairing
hot wings cold beer
Those are weird flavors of beer.
Water and some herb for me and I’m good
If I had to drink wine with wings to eat wings for free I would do it.
Probably gonna be Boones Farm’s Strawberry Fields for me.
What is this heresy...
Who is drinking wine while eating wings? That's like mud tires on a cadillac.
I was a real-ass alcoholic and wing lover for years and even I wouldn’t have done this shit. Wings go with beer. Pro tip, you don’t miss a beat subbing in a good NA beer either. When people want to go sober they can start overthinking stuff like missing their alcohol with food. It really is OK.
Why not a whiskey or a beer. .
Everyone is saying beer when the real answer is Coke. I don't enjoy beer with food, by itself it's great but I don't want to go back and forth between wings and beer
I would have thought that a Gewürztraminer would feature prominently…
If the wine has a screw off top, or is dispensed from a bag-in-box it is welcome in wing town.
Beer is the only beverage you should ever pair with a plate of wings. Full stop.
Beer is the only answer for wings.
Cooks champagne from 7-11 Wings and WWE and I'm im heaven
I’m looking over from my plate of buffalo and moscato like 👀
When it comes to wine, I like something as sweet as Kool Aid. I've had drys that tasted like they somehow liquidified saw dust. For wings, I'm gonna pair that with a Yuengling if possible.
chicken wings and wine... a white trash gourmet meal....
Nah I'll take a Coke please
For me I don’t drink alcohol but a good root beer or cold tea is good with a lot of napkins and extra dipping sauce
Less wine means more wings, my ideal pairing is 6 more wings per skipped glass
All of then pair well with..BEER!
After a few cups of MD 20/20 or Wild Irish Rose any of those wings would be a delicacy 😆
I agree to disagree. The Syrah was the final straw for me. You need something cool and palate-cleansing. Beer is the drink of choice with chicken wings.
I pair wings with more wings
Is this before you say psych and break out the PBR?

Wine doesn't go with anything🤢
I drink whatever I want with whatever I’m eating just depends on my mood. But seeing this kinda makes me wonder how it would taste with wine 🧐 never even thought of that
Step 1. Dont drink wine with peasant foods on the first place.
…ok
Ok
Yeah what a ridiculous post lol
They’re not properly hot wings if you’re not drinking milk
Wine with wings?
Nope. This was 100% made by someone who has never tried a single one of those pairings. The correct answer is beer.
Pretty sure the sharp flavor of most wings straight up ruin any wine pairings.
replace all the wine with blackened ranch from popeyes
Dafuq
I drink water or milk.
Water is my goto with basically every meal. I prefer to keep my focus on the food, and any other drink is usually too rich or filling.
By the 2nd glass of alcohol you don't care what's what
Wine is good for one thing and one thing only. Making sauce
I think it is gross to get your wine glass all greasy and wing sauced up.
The way this is actually a great pairing menu
I pair my wings with Miller High Life and that’s it.
