Food and wine pairing rules

First, the main rule: you shall harmonize consistency and balance of the tastes. We will move on pondering these two parameters, consistency and balance, for the dish and the wine we could match together.
Consistency: a dish with a consistent taste, due to its compounding ingredients or to the strength added by the sauce, it needs a very consistent wine. Tasting a strong food flavour, if you want to taste the wine as well, wine itself has to be strong, it has to express a high aromatic load. Then we shall look for a rich and powerful wine with a thickly concentrate perfume and flavour. On the other side, dishes whose consistency is low, dishes that are composed of delicate and light flavours, in order to not be overwhelmed by their pairing wine, needs it to be ethereal, not too tasty, with a light texture.
