Some recommended wine pairings for Mediterranean cuisine include: For seafood dishes: Try a crisp and refreshing white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. For grilled meats: Consider a medium-bodied red wine like a Grenache or Tempranillo. For vegetable-based dishes: Opt for a light and fruity red wine such as a Beaujolais or a Ros. For spicy dishes: Pair with a slightly sweet wine like a Riesling or a sparkling wine like Prosecco.
