The best wine pairings for feta cheese

With that baked feta and tomato pasta recipe going viral on TikTok, feta is certainly having a moment but what sort of wine do you pair with it?

Greek wine is the obvious starting point particularly white wine which suits its sharpness and saltiness and the sort of ingredients you pair with it such as tomatoes, olives and courgettes (zucchini). But you can also consider wines from further afield.

Assyrtiko and other greek whites
The traditional Greek salad of tomatoes, cucumber onion and olives is the classic pairing for an assyrtiko or assyrtiko blend. It will also work with other salads such as watermelon and feta salad and with whipped feta. With a baked feta dish you might want a Greek white with a touch of oak or a slightly older vintage.

A Premium Retsina wine (from Savvatiano, Assyrtiko, Roditis) is perfect companion with Feta cheese or the Greek Salad

Nice to see an English wine in there, even if Bacchus is far from my favourite!
