Red or white wine with pork.
There are many juicy red wines and richer white wines with a backbone of refreshing acidity that pair brilliantly with pork at the dinner table.
Riesling white wines can work perfectly to cut through a fatty roast pork belly, while Grenache-based reds may elevate a midweek bangers and mash.
How about Sangiovese-fuelled Chianti Classico with slow-cooked pork shoulder.
That balance of tannic structure, acidity and berry fruit found in many wines could make for a real treat.
‘Italian reds always have that wonderful acidity that’s perfect with pork,’ wrote food and wine expert Fiona Beckett in this Christmas pairing suggestion with porchetta-style pork belly.
Jean-Baptiste Lemoine, deputy director of food and beverage at The Goring hotel in London, previously told Decanter it’s important to consider: the cut of the pork; the way it’s cooked; the sauce you are serving it with
Matthieu Longuère MS, wine development manager at Le Cordon Bleu London culinary school, agreed.
‘Whatever the meat is, it depends what you do with it.’
Think about matching the intensity of the wine with that of the dish, as well as any acidity and sweetness brought by ingredients in the meal.

If you think of Pedro Ximenez as an ultra sweet sherry, yes, of course it is but you can also use it to make spectacular savoury recipes like this dish of pork cheek from Bar 44's Tapas y Copas by Owen and Tom Morgan.
"One of our favourite dishes, we come back to this time and time again.
It’s reminiscent of the oxtail, ox cheek and pig cheek dishes we love in Andalusia, and is like comfort in a bowl.
You could use any seasonal vegetables, or even some lovely white beans.
Just change the accompaniments to suit your mood and the time of year.
We have also used this dish in a larger format as a sharing option for a great Sunday roast with lots of trimmings.
Even though the dish contains PX that would be too sweet for it but I'd go for a full-bodied red like a Jumilla or a garnacha.
Preheat the oven to 160ºC/140ºC Fan/Gas mark 3.
Return the pan to a high heat, add the red wine and sherry, and scrape up all the bits stuck to the bottom while reducing the liquid by half.
Season the pork cheeks well with salt and pepper, then sear in the pan until gnarly and caramelised on both sides.
This will take about 10 minutes.

The trick here is to cook slow and long pork cheeks.
They are so underrated; they should be the most expensive and exquisite piece of pork, but lucky for our wallets, it’s not…
Cheeks got all the flavour, and it’s a relatively lean part.
Its secret?
The collagen!
Which is a flavour bomb and, if cooked properly, gets so tender.
For example, meat with lots of collagen, like ribs, needs a long and slow cooking process for the collagen to turn into this tender gelatine (jelly).
Once that process is done, your meat will melt like butter on your tongue.
A true pleasure!
Your butcher can leave the bone on; it will come off easily at the end of cooking.
This cut is relatively small, so one isn’t enough for a main dish; I would always make two cheeks per person.
Tips for a perfect, deep brown sauce (a.k.a. gravy) made from scratch:
Chocolate!
Yeah!
You’ve heard me: CHOCOLATE!
It’s a hidden secret of Grands Chefs...
You need a tiny bit at the end of cooking your sauce with a touch of butter to give extra shine and texture, and voila!
You get an unctuous, deep brown sauce for your pork cheeks!

Pork cheeks delight lovers of traditional and slow-cooked recipes.
With their tender texture achieved through long, gentle cooking, this often-overlooked cut of meat reveals rich, savory aromas.
To enhance this generous meat dish, choosing the right wine is essential.
Pork cheeks pair beautifully with steamed potatoes, mashed potatoes, or other root vegetables.
Unlike stronger stews such as beef cheeks or wild boar stew, pork cheeks have a more delicate flavor.
The choice of side dish also plays a role: the milder the garnish (e.g., potatoes), the lighter the wine can be; the heartier the sides (e.g., parsnips, celeriac) or the richer the sauce, the more robust the wine should be.
Pork cheeks naturally call for generous red wines with soft tannins that won’t overpower the meat’s tenderness.
The key to a perfect wine pairing with pork cheeks lies in the recipe itself: the cooking method, the garnish, and the sauce must all be considered to achieve true harmony.

Dear Dr. Vinny, Which wine goes best with pork? —Pat, Dover, Del.
My first rule of pairing food and wine is to eat and drink what you like.
Beyond that, it’s useful to think about either matching or contrasting flavors, weights and textures and balance the intensity of the food and the wine.
That means that as with most foods, what you pair with pork depends on how it’s prepared and what it’s served with.
Pork can mean anything from ham or bacon to tenderloin, chops or grilled ribs.
That means the range of wines that pair with pork can range from crisp whites to lighter reds, medium-bodied reds or even rosés.
I will say that outside of pork belly and sausages, most pork is considerably leaner than red meat, which means young, bolder tannic reds will typically not be a great match.
My favorite pairings with pork include Rieslings for spicy or Asian preparations, or even salty, smoky ham or bacon.
For something grilled or barbecued, I’d reach for a Grenache or a zesty Zinfandel.
Light reds like Beaujolais and Pinot Noirs would be a good match for leaner cuts like chops or tenderloins, maybe even a Chardonnay with a creamy or buttery sauce.
Rosés are also extremely versatile with pork, their light body and crispness will pair with many preparations.
