Wine for Real Life: Pairing Peg & Bull Whites with Everyday Food
Let’s be honest — wine doesn’t need a white tablecloth to taste good.
You don’t have to whisper tasting notes or twirl a glass like you’re auditioning for a movie scene. Wine is meant to be shared, spilled a little, and enjoyed with whatever’s on the table — even if that’s pizza, chips, or a burger from down the road.
At Peg & Bull, that’s the whole idea. Wine that fits real life. Approachable, flavourful, and a little bit cheeky. So, here’s your guide to pairing our white wines with the kind of food you actually eat — no fuss, no fancy language, just great flavour.
Prosecco — The Life of the Party
Crisp, bubbly, and always up for a good time. Our Prosecco is the friend that never turns down a brunch invite.
Pairs perfectly with:
- Salty potato chips — yep, really. The bubbles cut through the salt and make each bite feel brand new.
- Fried chicken or schnitzel rolls — the fizz balances out the crunch.
- Margherita pizza — light, fresh, and perfectly matched.
Why it works: The bubbles and bright acidity clean your palate after every salty, crispy bite. It’s the ultimate snack-and-sip combo.
Pinot Grigio — The Easy-Going All-Rounder
Pinot Grigio is the laid-back one in the group. Zesty, crisp, and never trying too hard.
Pairs perfectly with:
- Cheese pizza or white pizza with garlic and ricotta.
- Chicken burgers, grilled or crumbed.
- Simple salads, sushi, or seafood pasta.
Why it works: Its fresh acidity and citrus notes lift lighter dishes without overpowering them. It’s the definition of “clean and crushable.”
Sauvignon Blanc — The Zingy Crowd-Pleaser
Sauv Blanc brings the energy. Bright, herbal, a little tropical — it’s the summer anthem of white wines.
Pairs perfectly with:
- Fish and chips with a squeeze of lemon.
- Veggie pizzas or anything with fresh herbs.
- Nachos with sour cream and salsa.
Why it works: That punchy acidity loves salt and fat, while the grassy notes dance with herbs, lime, and spice.
Chardonnay — The Smooth Operator
Forget what you think you know about Chardonnay. Peg & Bull’s style is fresh, modern, and balanced — not heavy or oaky.
Pairs perfectly with:
- Cheeseburgers or a classic Aussie BBQ.
- Creamy pasta or potato bake.
- Popcorn with butter (trust us).
Why it works: The subtle creaminess matches comfort food, while the freshness keeps it from feeling rich or clunky.
The Big Idea
Good wine doesn’t belong in a glass case — it belongs on your table. Whether you’re eating pizza out of the box, sharing a bag of chips, or cooking something fancy on Sunday, there’s a Peg & Bull white that fits right in.
We’re not about rules or rituals — just real people, real food, and really good wine.
So crack open a bottle, grab whatever’s on the menu, and enjoy it your way.
Because wine shouldn’t be exclusive — it should be shared.
