Pair it with some of the sickly sweet Niagara wines they have around here, goes nicely with the really hot wing sauce. Maybe…

Acidity to cut the rich dressing and fat, sweetness to balance the heat. Of course, Spätlese Riesling would work as well for the same reasons.

That being said, IPAs are the way to go, right?

Enjoy the Super Bowl!

Maybe its the sweetness and how it has less carbonation. I agree with Diablito that the carbonation increases the intensity of the “heat” from the wings.

I’ve only tried one brand with my wings, and that is my local winery’s Dessert Wine.

It was painful. I think the carbonation in the wine amplifies the heat on the wings. I’d try a flat, off-dry wine to relieve some of that heat. Never tried it with White Zin but who knows, maybe those two culinary/viticultural wonders may be the perfect match! :)

I like the Lambrusco idea, but I have to agree Beer is best with wings!

It’s a party wine, no doubt. A blend of braco noir and catawba, it’s sweet enough to balance the fire, and got enough fruit to match the sauce. For a bonus, it’s from Canadagua, in the Finger Lakes, not far from the home of Buffalo wings…

Hopefully next year by this time it will be a reality. It’s going to take alot of wing eating and wine drinking though in the meantime.

I’m personally inclined to go with a zin, too — I don’t know if it’s more about the pairing itself or the fact that an American wine (well, sort of) seems like the most appropriate choice on this, the holiest day of football. I was initially thinking sparkling, too, but would be a little hesitant if the wings were really spicy just because of how extreme spice and fizz interact (think: pain!). But hey, if it’s good enough for Hooters, who am I to second-guess? :)

How could that piece of delicious Americana not have come to our attention earlier? And I’m sure you go to Hooters for the wings, of course…

If I had to pair wine n wings (have never tried and it’s not because I don’t like wine), I think sweet is the way to go with this spice. Cava perhaps? Off-dry riesling would most likely be a good pick but don’t overdo it on the price…

The bubbles and acids cut through the fat and cool the spice leaving a fresh, clean aftertaste.
