Whether you’re a movie lover or not, there’s no denying that popcorn is one of the best snacks around. It’s salty, crunchy, and can be made with so many different flavours. But what are the best popcorn pairings? Check out some of our favourite wine combos below:
- Dark chocolate popcorn and red wine.
When you are looking for a treat that will make your taste buds happy, nothing can beat dark chocolate and red wine. The pairing of these two classic flavours is perfect when enjoyed together as an after-dinner dessert or even at breakfast time.
You can always depend on dark chocolate popcorn to go great with wine. The rich, smooth taste of dark chocolate is perfect for any occasion and will enhance the flavour of your favourite wines like Cabernet Sauvignon because it doesn’t overpower them like other chocolates might do.
- Caramel coated chili chocolate popcorn and sangria.
The sweet and salty caramel coated chocolate popcorn is accented with the spice of cayenne, cinnamon as well a subtle hint of nutty flavour from roasted pepitas. To top it off this snack has an added kick that makes you want another piece! This one’s perfect for any occasion so make sure to grab yourself some sangria before it’s gone!
Also called Mexican chocolate popcorn, this flavour is popular during ladies’ nights and bridal showers, since the sweet blend of chocolate is complemented by the kick of cayenne and cinnamon matches that of the fruity tones of sangria. Most of all, the low-calorie content of popcorn allows the ladies to enjoy munching them all throughout the party.
- Cheese and Merlot.
Meanwhile, if you are looking for something tangy for your popcorn and wine, then you may want to go with cheese flavoured popcorn and Merlot wine. This is a great appetiser since cheese keeps your taste buds looking forward to the main course while the boldness of Merlot prepares your palate for the entrees.
Tossed with an assortment of spices, this popcorn is the perfect snack for any wine lover. The white cheddar and parmesan blend will have your mouth watering as soon as it hits them in the form of tasty almonds to candied oranges on top!
- Butter and Chardonnay.
It’s time to get your popcorn ready for movie night! But what wine should you serve? Well, if it has butter flavour then stick with Chardonnay. Apart from that there are some great alternatives like sparkling rose or Pinot Grigio which will also work well in this situation (and pair better).
- Dill Pickle and Bloody Mary.
Meanwhile, if you are craving for a summer-themed popcorn treat, then go with dill pickle seasoning on your popcorn. It tastes just as good, but with an additional snappy finish that couldn’t be missed in your mouth when you’re eating this snack! Pair it alongside some Bloody Mary for afternoon get-togethers with friends.
