Do you serve red wine, white wine, or champane with turkey?

Answer 1

Why not offer a choice of both? A dry robust white, and a pale red such as a Beaujolais or a Pinot would do very well with your turkey dinner. I would avoid champagne, as it's carbonated and your guests will already be stuffed from all the food, you don't want them to feel bloated and gassy.

Answer 2

Red wines "usually" cellar temperature which is between 60 and 60 F. White wines, not white desert wines like d'Yquem, are served between 35 and 50 F. The term "cellar temperature" is the temperature that most natural caves are and that's become the standard for the reds since most French wineries stored their wines in caves to mature. The whites on the other hand, were traditionally served in the winter because they were consumed when young. Of course you'll see variations of the accepted rules. If you have doubts, the recommended serving temp is sometimes on the bottle/box. I've never seen a box wine that didn't recommend at least a slight chill since most are blends and they've added fruit juice to bring out the desired qualities of the wine. Be sure of what you get when it comes to the cheaper brands. While they may not be up to your personal standards, they can be usefull as mixers or party drinks.

Answer 3

White...but if it is on a holiday (Thanksgiving) champagne is also fine. It compliments the turkey nicely. You also bast the turkey with white wine by the way.

The rules are:

Red Meat--Red Wine
Turkey--White
Seafood--Can be either but usually white

Answer 4

Red wine would compliment the savoury taste of the turkey and and to the texture. Champagne would also be enojyable depending on individual taste. Some people may find that red wine would overpower the taste of turkey and be too bitter while champagne is more of a sweet tasty beverage that could really go well with anything.. Besides, everybody loves champagne..

Answer 5

To begin, I like to serve champagne or sparkling wine while my family arrives, gets settled and has appetizers. For a traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner, Zinfindel is the most appropriate wine to serve (not the blush white, the real zinfindel)

Answer 6

It should really be white wine with a white meat, but in the end it comes down to personal preferences.

Answer 7

White or a nice champane

Answer 8

You are suppose to serve white with poltury, but you can use either. I would say if you are stuffing the turkey go with white, if you arent red would be nice.

Answer 9

mmm Tough question, White goes with everything to be honest. but red has much more flavor. Who is your audiance? White is always safe but if they know what they are doing Red is the way to go.

Answer 10

CHAMPAGNE is the preferred choice here.

We have been opening bottles for 20+ yrs at the table in our home. The whole family votes for bubbly....
