Thus, American IKEA meatballs can go with whatever wines…But Swedish IKEA meatballs (found only in Europe) must go with only Euro wines, probably French, in order to be most authentic. North Rhone brett sounds best.

Something I heard on the radio that is more shocking is that IKEA furniture was found to have trace amounts of actual wood in it.
