Rob Buckhaven picks out the perfect tipples to complement a Chinese New Year feast…

Chinese New Year kicks off on February 3. In this week’s print edition of
Fabulous, Jamie Oliver shares his recipes for pork and delicate crab
wontons, lovely golden prawns and delicious lycee martinis. Not sure what to
drink with your Chinese feast? Rob Buckhaven has found the tipples which go
perfectly…

1 White

Noble Dragon Shandong White (£.8.99, Bottle bankwine.co.uk)
from China, is a mango-loaded blend.

Blagger’s guide: Thanks to greater investment, in 50 years China is
predicted to be the world’s biggest wine producer.

2 White

Silver medal-winner Dr L Riesling (£6.98, Asda) makes a peachy soulmate
for Jamie’s sticky pork.

Blagger’s guide: The Riesling’s acidity cuts through the richness of
the pork dish perfectly.

3 Rosé

Pink Elephant Rosé (£5 until February 2, Tesco) delivers a
moreish, cherry bonbon hit.

Blagger’s guide: Two top winemakers plus 12 industry experts combined
their knowledge to make this wine for Chinese and Thai food.
