This post was most recently updated on February 11th, 2022

Orange wine has become a relatively popular delicacy that wine lovers have begun to indulge in, and for a good reason, too (other than it tasting fantastic). If you’ve been looking to get yourself a bottle to enjoy with a long bath or with a delicious meal, take a look at these reasons you should be drinking more orange wine before you settle on what to get.

Orange Wine Is Versatile When Pairing
What’s excellent about orange wine is that you can pair it with a variety of foods. Orange wine has some qualities that are present in both red and white wine. So, it has the tannins in red wines and the acidity in white wine. The result of that is that you can enhance your meal (well, at least many of them) with orange wine. Don’t be afraid to try out the 2016 Skin Fermented Pinot Grigio with other exotic curries from Japanese, Korean, Moroccan, and Ethiopian cuisine. Also, it pairs so well with meat, bitter vegetables, and fish.

Orange Wine Is Better for Your Health Than White Wine Is
As important as it is for you to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of a difficult day or the start of an exciting night, you must look after your health too. Well, you’ll be pleased to know that orange wine is healthier than white wine. As a skin-contact wine, it has a lower risk of causing heart diseases. Moreover, grape skins, used for making orange wine, contain antioxidants. Antioxidants are necessary to reduce the chances of many chronic health conditions and counter cell damage. Now that you know why you should be drinking more orange wine, head over to Stocked Cellars and secure your new favourite bottle.
