Craving tex-mex?
Will it be meat, vegetarian, or both? Whatever your choice, the easygoing and pleasant Footmark Smooth Red pairs beautifully with spicy Mexican food. This versatile, carefree wine hails from South Africa and works equally well as a food companion or a social drink. This gentle hero is also a safe choice for different diets, as it's suitable for vegans. Wonderful, isn't it!
Taco trays and tortillas for every taste
Mexican food is characterized by generous use of spices and piquant, fiery flavors. It's also the birthplace of familiar everyday favorites like tortillas and the delicious weekend regular, the taco tray. Tex-mex usually gets an enthusiastic reception, as there's something for everyone – much like Footmark Smooth Red, which is, true to its name, a very smooth wine. It honors the flavor nuances and wraps the drinker in a lovely warm embrace. You'll gladly approach such a friendly wine – if it doesn't approach you first!
Part of tex-mex's charm lies precisely in how incredibly easy it is to customize to diners' tastes. You can add your favorite spices and prepare the food either really fiery or mild – or something in between. There are countless filling options too: fill your burritos, tacos, or nacho tray with ground meat or similarly used soy crumbles, for example. Anything works!
Red wine rounds out the flavor profile of Mexican food
Footmark Smooth Red is an unmatched choice as a companion to tex-mex for many reasons. A balanced and pleasant red wine pairs perfectly with filling and spicy Mexican food, rounding out the fiery flavor profile into something palatable. This wine's taste is full-bodied and soft, yet light in feel. It brings out the best aspects of the food beautifully without being too heavy. The wine doesn't try to steal the whole show, but wants to share the stage with its Mexican friends.
