Wind + Candy Pairings That Are Perfect For Halloween!

One of the best things about adulthood is that you can buy whatever candy you want, whenever you want it. And you can enjoy an adult beverage as you eat it. This Halloween season, when those discount bins of bite-sized candy call to you, you can also grab a bottle of wine that will complement the flavors of those Starbursts or Whoppers.

Whether you’re enjoying leftover candy from trick-or-treaters or stolen goods from your kids’ bag of treats (hey, you do a lot for them… you’re entitled to share some of their candy), we’ve got some ideas for ways to best enjoy the snacks!
Instead of nibbling your way through the leftover pieces this year, why not make the stash disappear with the perfect glass of vino?


CANDY + WINE COMBOS:

Tootsie Rolls + Amarone

Hershey Kisses + Zinfandel

Merlot + Hershey’s Minatures

Whoppers + Cabernet Sauvignon
The huge malty character of Whoppers needs a wine with backbone and depth to keep from being overpowered by the malt and chocolate. Pair it with a ripe, bold Cabernet Sauvignon blend

Reese’s + Sherry

Swedish Fish + Lambrusco

Sweet Tarts + Reisling
Dominated by intense orange and candied lemon with touches of minerality, they make the candy taste less sour

Jolly Ranchers + Gewürztraminer

Starbust + Moscato D-Asti

M&M’s + Port

Pixy Stix + Sauvignon Blanc

Candry Corn + Moscato
The mix of Moscato and candy corn are fabulous, because the sugar in the candy corn amps up the fruitiness in the Moscato. Both taste better as a result!
