For example, Bourgogne Chablis.<\/p>\n

\"\"However, neither red nor white wine goes well with herring or salmon roe. The iron specific to wine is said to contribute to the fishy smell of fish roe.<\/p>\n

In the research of one wine manufacturer, the factor that generates the smell of fish and shellfish is the iron (ferrous ion) found in wine. Wines with relatively low levels of iron such as Sherry (Spain)<\/span>, Champagne (France)<\/span> fermented twice in the bottle, Cava (Spain)<\/span> and Franciacorta (Italy)<\/span> mature without adding sulfite, which prevents oxidization. This reduces the ferrous ion in the wine and the fishy smell is virtually unnoticeable.<\/p>\n

Either way, the research of wine and sushi pairings is still insufficient and there haven\u2019t yet been any reports of unexpected compatibility. If anyone out there has found a wine that does pair well with herring or salmon roe, please be sure to share that information with us.<\/p>\n
