Wine Pairings for Your 4th of July BBQ

For many of us, Fourth of July means cracking open an ice-cold beer—preferably an American one. But wine can also work well with barbecue food. If you're heading to the grocery store and you're not sure which wines to pair with your hamburgers or hotdogs, check out these suggestions from.

Hot Dogs + Sparkling Wine

The bubbles and citrus help to cut the fattiness and compliment the saltiness.

Grilled Corn + Chardonnay

The citrus and mineral flavors and full body are the perfect complement to the sweet corn and salty butter.

Spicy Brats + Syrah

A full-bodied red with ripe fruit tones compliments the heat.

Burgers + Zinfandel

This rich and slightly peppery wine pairs well with smokey flavors, and even barbeque sauce.
