Wine for blue cheeses is a type of wine that is ideally paired with cheeses such as Roquefort, Bleu d'Auvergne, Gorgonzola, Fourme d'Ambert and Stilton. It is usually a full-bodied red wine, such as a Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Côtes du Rhône, Bordeaux or Zinfandel that can accompany the intense flavors and aromas of blue cheeses. It is important to choose a wine for blue cheeses that has a good balance between acidity, tannins and sugar to maximize the taste of the dishes. Full-bodied, tannic red wines are particularly popular with blue cheeses.
