Pairing Wine With McDonald’s Food

Total sketchball

Hey look what wine site Snooth did! It paired wine with food from McDonald’s and then evaluated the pairings. So while prosecco was a poor match with a Filet-O-Fish, the 2009 Spice Route sauvignon blanc from South Africa showed swimmingly, "its green herbal accents supporting the pickle elements in the tartar with the acid helping to cut through the cheese and mayo."
Side note: Fried fish and American cheese, with a ton of mayo on top. Man. So gnarly. The Filet-O-Fish is, and has always been, one sketchy sandwich. If fast-food sandwiches were people at the mall, Filet-O-Fish would totally be the greasy pony-tailed guy in the Columbine raincoat buying a leather knife holster at the rare gems store.
A Spanish rose, meanwhile, worked best with the Big Mac. It "had just the right level of fruit to work with the burger and…the acid levels seemed to pair up particularly well with this dish."
