Fish requires a wine that enhances the delicate flavors, not overpowers them. You often hear: fish goes with white wine. That's usually true, but there are also surprisingly lovely red options. In this guide, we'll help you quickly choose: which wine pairs well with fish, which white wine pairs well with fish, and which red wine pairs well with fish? No complicated words, just flavor. These are five Hunwijn bottles that make pairing simple – from refreshing ceviche to rich, oven-baked salmon.

also delicious with grilled shrimp, oysters with a squeeze of lemon, and sashimi. Whatever white wine you're unsure about pairing with fish, this one instantly enlivens any table.
Slightly chilled Pinot Noir: the red wine that goes well with fish
