Jalapeños in Wine: A Trend Divides Wine Lovers
Jalapeños in Sauvignon Blanc: A Controversial Trend Takes the Internet by Storm. The recent trend of adding jalapeños to Sauvignon Blanc has sparked debate among wine enthusiasts. One UK-based influencer, partnerinwine, recently shared her thoughts on the matter in a short video. "Probably THE worst trend since red wine in hot chocolate," she stated, emphasizing the importance of pairing jalapeños with the right wine. Partnerinwine recommends an off-dry wine like Grüner Veltliner as a better alternative to expensive New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. She highlights the zesty lime and passionfruit notes of Sauvignon Blanc, which can clash with the jalapeño's heat. Her video offers a taste test, demonstrating how the Grüner Veltliner complements the jalapeño's flavor more effectively. While the trend remains divisive, partnerinwine's video provides a fun and informative look at a current culinary debate.
