So there&#8217;s no question of missing out on a delicious wine-raclette pairing.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But don&#8217;t worry, the TWIL team can help.  <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; disable_custom_paddings_tablet=&#8221;true&#8221; disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1587718178266{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 80px !important;}&#8221;]            <div id=\"shortcode_index_title\">\n                <div id=\"shortcode_index_titles\" style=\"display:none\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;block-text&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>What you need to know<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice of white or red wine will depend very much on personal preference. The wine-raclette pairing must be able to bring out the flavors created by the combination of the melting texture of the potatoes and the comforting taste of the cheese that takes hold on the palate. If, on principle, with a cheese-based dish, we tend to prefer a white wine, it&#8217;s also possible to drink <a href=\"https:\/\/vin-champagne.ouest-france.fr\/quel-vin-rouge-avec-une-raclette\/\">a red wine with a raclette<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If wine isn&#8217;t your priority for this convivial meal, keep it simple!  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a white wine that&#8217;s not too dry to accompany the &#8220;fat&#8221; of raclette, or a red wine that&#8217;s not too tannic and goes well with charcuterie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Top 5 wines to accompany raclette :<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pouilly-Fuiss\u00e9 appellation goes perfectly with this winter dish.
