Pair a drink with what I am cooking

Dinner is decided and you want something to drink with it that is not a guess.

Suggest what to drink with the meal below.

Give me:
1. **One wine recommendation**, by grape and style rather than by a specific bottle I will not find, with one sentence on why it works against this dish. Name the element of the dish it is answering: fat, acid, heat, sweetness, smoke.
2. **A cheaper alternative** that does the same job.
3. **A beer or cider option.**
4. **A non-alcoholic option** that is a real pairing and not just a soft drink. Say what it is doing against the dish.

Rules:
- Commit to one first choice. Do not give me five wines and let me pick.
- Name any part of the dish that fights the pairing, for example vinegar, chilli, or artichoke, and how to work around it.
- Work within my budget and what is available where I shop.

Making it yours

  • Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
  • Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
  • If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.

Planning and hosting. Week plans, shopping lists, batch cooking, drinks, and getting several dishes hot at the same time.
