Kimchi is a spicy, tangy, and crunchy fermented vegetable dish made with napa cabbage, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, sugar, daikon radish, and scallions. The vegetables are salted, seasoned with a flavorful paste, and then fermented for several days to develop its signature sour and spicy taste. Kimchi's texture is crisp and slightly chewy, making it a refreshing and bold side dish.

The spicy and tangy flavors of kimchi, made with napa cabbage, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce, pair well with a crisp and refreshing Albariño. This white grape variety has high acidity and citrus notes that can cut through the heat and complement the fermented flavors. Alternatively, a light-bodied and fruity Carménère with soft tannins can balance the spiciness and enhance the overall taste experience.
