Wine: Rose with your Bronte (NZ)

It’ll hardly rip anyone’s knickers to know that wine is a great partner for all sorts of practices. Take the pairing of wine with cheese; the French have been doing that for centuries. We Kiwis have been doing it ever since someone impaled a cube of cheddar with a toothpick and stabbed it into an upside-down orange. Wine and food pairing is so common that wine competitions now award extra medals to wines whose flavours favour a multitude of meals, reports The Wairarapa Times Age.
