Good Wine Choices For Lunches

Choose a light-bodied white wine for lunch.

The lunch meal is typically smaller and lighter than the dinner meal, so consider that when deciding on a wine to go with your lunch. White wines are typically lighter than reds and work well with most lunch options. When pairing your lunch meal with wine, keep in mind the acidity of what you ordered and ask the sommelier about what would work well with your meal.
