Red Wine Is The Ultimate Pairing For Dim Sum

The article from Forbes, published on May 5, 2025, by Emily Cappiello, discusses the surprising yet perfect pairing of red wine with dim sum.

The article also mentions a growing trend among food enthusiasts and sommeliers who are experimenting with this unconventional pairing, leading to a new appreciation for how red wine can elevate the dim sum dining experience.
