London Wine Week will be taking place from 23-29 May 2016 and will encompass a week-long celebration of the Capital’s thriving wine scene.

Wine pairings take into consideration the sugar, acid, alcohol and tannins of the wine to evaluate how they can be accentuated or minimized when paired with certain types of food.

Coconut Cream Duck Pot

Many people just order their favourite of red or white with Chinese food, or think that a French Chablis may be the best with Duck in Coconut Cream.

However, with Dim Sum and Sweet & Sour Chicken to contend with, Chinese cuisine is arguably one of the most difficult foods to wine pair with. Fortunately, Royal China Club’s Head Sommelier, Peter Chan, has shared his wine pairing tips below.
