Chicken wings are a Super Bowl staple and the delicious spicy Buffalo style is a firm favorite. With a fiery medley of ingredients, Buffalo wings cry out for an off-dry Riesling to beautifully balance the heat.

Our pick is an Egon Muller Auslese. Precise and fresh, lush fruit shines against a background of botrytis which gives just enough sweetness to balance the tangy zest of the wings. The wine’s lively acidity cuts through the pleasingly crackling skin.

Pizza is right up there on the list of favorite Super Bowl food. Rich, deliciously gooey cheeses, rich tomato sauces, and mildly spicy pepperoni are the standout ingredients in any selection of traditional and veggie pizzas with a crispy crust adding balancing texture. We have just the thing for this Superbowl pick – a fellow Italian Chianti Classico Reserva!

The red cherry and plum of Castello di Bosso complement the tomato sauce to perfection while its spicy, herbal hints highlight gently piquant pepperoni. Famous for its tartness, this Classico cuts through the richness of the assortment of melted cheeses, while its delicately earthy notes match the rustic character of the crust.

Fans are always reaching for crispy potato skins stuffed with melted cheese, bacon bits, finely cut green onions, and sour cream on Super Bowl Sunday – and little wonder. The combination of warm, fluffy potato and flavorful toppings is a timeless crowd-pleaser.

This calls for a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. We’ve made a beeline to Bordeaux where this grape dominates in the superb Château Cheval Blanc blend. This delicately citrusy, cut-grass wine features a crisp acidity that slices through the richness of the cheese and bacon and complements the tanginess of the sour cream.

No Super Bowl menu is complete without sliders, those cute little, finger food burgers packed with beef patties and melted cheese and topped with tomatoes, pickles, and onions. Veggie versions feature pulse and vegetable-based patties boasting the same yummy toppings.

A great choice for sliders is a smooth and fruity Argentinian Malbec and this Catena Zapata fits the bill. With its juicy, velvety character, this smoky red enhances the umami of the beef and the pulses’ earthiness while standing up to savory richness with soft, firm tannins.

A steaming bowl of chili con carne goes hand-in-hand with Super Bowl Sunday. Whether a beef or vegetarian version, this hearty, spicy dish, with its layers of earthy, and delicately sweet notes makes a substantial, satisfying eat.

This powerhouse of a recipe calls for an equally robust wine. With its ripe black fruit, vanilla, cassis, licorice, and dark chocolate, Napa Valley Harlan Estate Bordeaux Blend is a great match for chili. Its balanced tannins and acidity stand up to the boldness of the dish while a rich fruitiness provides a delicate sweetness that contrasts its fire.

Traditionally enjoyed with crunchy nachos, creamy avocado dip with lime, chili, and cilantro goes like a dream with the savory, crispy tortilla chips.

Together, they pair perfectly with a refreshing glass of Sancerre – and all the better if it’s from the prestigious Monts Damnés vineyard. This Loire Valley wine boasts fresh citrus, gooseberry, and cut grass that complement the guacamole’s herbs and lime, while its crisp acidity balances the avocado’s creaminess.

Crudités with classic dips like spinach and artichoke, cheese, and hummus offer a fresh, healthy, and tasty bite with the veggies offering mild earthy notes and the dips adding creamy, nutty, tangy, and savory flavors.

Didier Dagueneau, Pouilly Fume Asteroide fits the bill perfectly. The delicate citrus and stone fruit of this Sauvignon Blanc and its rich minerality, floral hints, touch of pepper, and lively acidity all balance and enhance the flavorful array of tastes in a crudité and dip platter.

Deviled eggs are a timeless finger food that’s a fixture for Super Bowl. Creamy yolk filling, paprika, and a mustard kick make a delicious snack that’s hard to resist.

Bollinger, La Grande Annee Rose features light berry fruit and exquisite minerality that contrast the zest of the egg toppings. The vibrant effervescence of this bubbly contrasts pleasingly with the smooth textures of this mouthwatering nibble.

Potato chips are essential for the Super Bowl. Add in the nuts and popcorn, and that’s a lot of salty snacks!

Such a ton of savory, crunchy, and – in the case of popcorn – buttery snacks call out for a fresh, vibrant wine that balances out the salt-fest. Enter a Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Champagne. We love this pairing because it’s so unorthodox – but incomparable. Its light citrusy notes, lively acidity, and effervescence enhance and cut through the savory buttery notes of the snacks.

However they’re stuffed, there’s no getting away from tacos on Super Bowl Sunday. This popular snack features delicious savory fillings with warm spices all topped with fresh tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and tangy sour cream.

A wine that matches such diverse flavors and textures is Burn Cottage, Pinot Noir from New Zealand. This red from Central Otago has the dark fruit density to stand up to meat tacos yet has the light-footedness that’s classic of this varietal so as not to overpower vegetarian takes. Peppery earthiness complements the savory notes of this go-to game grub.
