1. The most notable feature of wine is acid full of tannins, so wine doesn't like vinegar, and vinegar is a common condiment in our Chinese cuisine. There are many foods cooked with vinegar, and even staple foods cannot do without vinegar. To make the wine taste better, it is best not to pair it with food dipped in vinegar. For example, dumplings are dipped in vinegar, pot stickers are dipped in vinegar, and steamed buns are dipped in vinegar. If you happen to eat Chinese food that requires vinegar, it is better not to drink red wine, otherwise the sour taste will change the whole taste when it meets sour taste.

2. In food-wine pairing, the most critical tastes are sweetness and freshness. These two tastes will make the wine taste more bitter and astringent. Therefore, when encountering fresh and sweet Chinese food, don’t drink red wine, you can drink some white wine, such as Burgundy Chardonnay, Italian Pinot Grigio, German Riesling, etc. are all good choices.

3. Chinese food is richer than Western food. There may be various flavors of food on the same table, ranging from strong to mild, sweet and spicy. If pairing with wine, go light with light wine and heavy with full-bodied wine. The order of serving can follow "drink white wine first, then red wine".

4. Dessert is very important after a meal. Chinese desserts tend to be greasy. If you need Chinese desserts after a meal, you need refreshing wine to match.

5. In this era when favors and face-saving are more popular, if you are inviting important guests to dinner and drink red wine, the choice of red wine for the meal should be placed at the back, and the quality of the wine should be the first priority, especially if you want to leave a good impression on the guests. If you have an impression, you still have to choose a good wine to match, even if the Chinese food is very ordinary, the wine must be of high quality.
