Wine, salads and sunshine 

The choice of wine to accompany a summer salad largely depends on the ingredients and flavors that make up your dish. Light white wines, such as a sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio, go perfectly with crisp vegetables and light vinaigrettes, bringing freshness and liveliness. If your salad includes proteins such as chicken or seafood, a well-balanced rosé or Chardonnay can complement these flavors. For a bolder touch, a light red wine, such as a pinot noir, can also be an excellent option. The key is to choose a wine that accentuates the flavors of your salad while providing a nice contrast. And don't forget, the important thing is to enjoy!
