Ice cream and wine pairing?

Summer is already in a full swing. On Northern hemisphere, most of the grapes are getting ready for harvest and while we are waiting for new vintage to come, warm weather calls for a refreshment. During hot summer wine lovers are usually reaching for more light wines; white, rosé and this year hit orange wines. But summer is also a time for ice cream 😀 so why not to combine ice cream and wine?

According to the wine pairing experts, it’s very difficult to pair wine and ice cream. Therefore we dig into it and find some suggestions on how to pair ice cream with wine. See the pairing recommendations in the photos below.
