FAQs
🍷 Q1: Which red wine tastes good with lobster?
A: Most people drink white wine with seafood, but if you like red wine, choose a light red like Pinot Noir. It has soft flavors that go well with the sweet taste of lobster, especially with butter or pasta.
🌡️ Q2: Should I ask for my red wine to be cold?
A: Light red wines like Pinot Noir can taste better when a little cold. Strong red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon are usually served slightly cool, not too cold. Your server can help with the right temperature.

A: It depends on the wine, but most red wines have about 12.5% to 15% alcohol. You can check the bottle for the exact number.
