Brits ordering a takeaway this Valentine’s Day can up the ante with a 30-minute wine and dine experience. ‘Decanteroo’ is a free service which sees Deliveroo’s trained sommeliers visiting customers to deliver a personalised Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference wine tasting, matched to their Valentine’s night dinner.
TikTok’s ’wine guy’ Tom Gilbey has matched Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference wines with some of the nation’s favourite takeaway dishes.
Tom Gilbey’s recommended wine pairing:
- Five Guys, Cheeseburger & Fries x Taste the Difference Vinedos Barrihuelo Rioja Crianza: Rioja’s blackcurrant and a hint of smokiness carries the burger’s juiciness, in tune with American cheese and salted fries. Even better if you opt for Cajun style; that spice will jump for joy when meeting this Rioja.
- Wingstop, 8 Pieces Boneless in Garlic Parmesan x Taste the Difference Viognier: Viognier’s peach and nectarine notes and rich voluptuous palate feel works wonders with juicy chicken, packing the perfect punch to carry the flavours of garlic and parmesan rather than overpowering.
- PizzaExpress, American Hot x Taste the Difference Conegliano Prosecco: This prosecco, like the pizza, is the best style you can get. Its zingy flavour, together with its freshness and elegance, balances the spice and richness of pepperoni and hot pepper.
Tom said: “You don’t need a fancy restaurant to enjoy these food and wine combinations; just an appetite to discover the pairings you never knew existed.”
Arabella Jenkins at Deliveroo said: “Sommelier pairings shouldn’t be exclusively for ten-course haute cuisine, so we’re excited for Brits to be able to uncork romance and enjoy the brilliant wine and takeaway pairings Tom Gilbey has curated to make Valentine’s at home even better. Because who doesn’t want to just kick back on the day of love with their favourite takeaway and a glass of wine?”
