Hookah And Wine Pairings

[Sporq]

So I've been playing around with things that go well with hookah, and I was wondering if anyone else has been trying pairing different wines with their shisha flavors? (Not wine in the bowl, just in a glass for sipping like a classy gent.)

So far, my favorite has been AF Berry with Barefoot winery's red moscato. Moscato in general seems to work well, as well as port, mead, and sweet red table wines. Anyone else doing this?

I normally accompany my hookah smoking with beer, lagers, ales, pale ales, and IPA's. Mmmmmm... IPA's...

Yeah, I definitely drink beer and bourbon more often than wine. My lady is the wine drinker. But this is a good question. I have a hard enough time trying to pair wine to my dinners. haha

I'm not a big wine drinker, but like knight and dizz said, I often drink beers or whiskeys along with my smoke. Especially a lot of IPA's lately, there's something about the dry bitterness that goes so well with the flavors of the hookah.

Shiraz and Port go great with everything, well it's the only wine I drink regularly.

Couldn't agree more. I am loving boulevard single wide IPA.

As for wine, get any Chilean or a good Merlot.
You can't really go wrong with Merlot. Unless it's boxed.

Well i like a good beer, like a melange 3 or bois, a good 2010 Coton :) :) :) (ask nate or sundayfundaystv) but also i really like a good manhattan, or something just beautifully mixed :) or even some aged whiskey. Or my friend bringing some amazing aged beer from his cellar like a 2009 Black Tuesday :) good god talk about a 400$ beer lol

 

Or anything from his cellar :)

Kalimotxo, end of story. Works best with grape

I can't generally drink alcohol and smoke hookah. Makes me sick. But I do remember drinking a nice blackberry brandy with Al Amir Blackberry and Tangiers Brambleberry.

 

As for wines, I will sometimes do a nice Riesling with something fruity like a Peach tobacco.

a good beer does the trick for me, but usually I just drink water with my smoking

nahkla brandy with brandy; sounds like a nap

 

not too knowledgable about wine but I have mixed wine with water in the base it is pretty tasty
