I don’t know that there needed to be specific wine to drink when eating pizza, but apparently someone else did and is probably now getting rich off the idea. Pizza Red, an Australian wine that’s advertised as “the affair between wine and pizza” strikes me as being more like a hasty summer camp sex session between rosé and a wine cooler.  A bit awkward, perhaps, but entertaining enough to be considered a somewhat pleasant experience.
Pizza Red is a touch sweet—not overly so—and has hints of strawberry. It spritzes when opened. This quirky product has no legs to speak of, but if we’re all being honest here who cares how it looks when you swoosh it around in your glass? Remember how mama used to say, “stop playing with your food?” Okay, then what are you playing with your wine and swooshing it around all day for? Just drink what’s put in front of you or pass it to someone who will.
Oh and serve chilled, perhaps with a nice, light fish dinner.
