The perfect Easter bread and wine pairing
The symbolism of bread and wine in the Christian community needs no explaining. While The Last Supper was more than just about breaking bread and wine, it has inspired enthusiasts to look into the best bread and wine pairings. There are various things to take into consideration when you pair wine with bread. Things like the flavour profile of the bread, grains used, and whether it’s sweet or not. Then there is the generally accepted principle of light breads going well with lighter wines, while thick and dense breads pair well with full bodied and complex wines. We have curated some of the best breads that pair well with wines
Sweet breads like mosbolletjie pair very well with Rieslings and sparkling wine.
