Definition: vinaigrette

A glass of water is undoubtedly the best choice to accompany a dish seasoned with vinaigrette. Wine and vinegar have never been a good combination. As for salads, which are essentially vegetable-based, they do not generally complement wine. That said, wine can be drunk if the vinaigrette is not too overpowering and if the other ingredients manage to balance it out. In any case, it is best to stick to simple, easy-drinking wines, such as lively, light and well-chilled whites or rosés.
