A workshop on pairing of fish dishes and Czech wines performed several groups of participants with the right wine and food combinations. The participants communicated their own pairing experiences and tried all of the 12 combinations of wines and meals within practical tasting. Participants were trying to figure out the factors affecting the suitability of the combinations and method of changing the perception of characteristics of wines. In the end, appropriate and inappropriate pairing combinations were revealed. The main critical point of matching the fish dishes with the wines was the smoked flavor of umami and taste of highly spicy dishes, for which it was preferable to choose red wine Merlot rather than white wine.
