It’s wine o’clock

THERE is no doubt wines have been one of the best companions with food and entertainment for thousands of years now. In fact, wines have literally evolved together with civilisation over many generations.

While the history of wines goes back to thousands of years, it has gained more popularity in the past century with mass production and brand loyalty which has made certain names a world-wide favourite.

Here in Fiji, there is no shortage of good wine — thanks to Motibhai Group which has been distributing quality wines for all occasions and suited to all tastes for many years now.

“The brands we distribute are world-renowned and collectively have won numerous awards at food and wine shows and other important events across the globe,” Motibhai Group manager hospitality sales Nitesh Chand says.

“Our wines have become part of your daily life, whether it’s a normal day or time for celebration,” he added.

“For wine lovers, even a simple dinner party is really just an excuse to showcase and taste great wines in great company of family and friends.

“Many a times people may not realise that you can actually pair a wine not only for each food course, but also for each segment of the evening — upon arrival, appetisers, toasting, after dinner sippers and so on.

“More wine is expected to be consumed during dinner parties in comparison with regular dinners and we have a range of wines to suit each event. Whether it’s a group function, or a simple dinner with your loved ones, we at Motibhai Group have you covered,” Mr Chand concluded.

Meanwhile, Motibhai Group has rolled out special offers on three different variants of Lindeman’s wines and additional two variants of the Rothbury Estate wines.

Food Pairing with Chardonnay

They’re perfect with light and delicate food such as raw and lightly cooked shellfish like crab and prawns, steamed or grilled fish, fish pâtés, fish, chicken or vegetable terrines and pasta or risotto with spring vegetables. They also go well with creamy vegetable soups.

Food Pairing with Shiraz Cabernet

Shiraz Cabernet pairs very well with many types of foods. It’s one of the most versatile wines when looking for a food pairing, likely because it is made in so many different styles. Leaner red meat, stew, and mildly spicy ethnic foods are the best foods to pair with Shiraz Cabernet.
