A braai calls for wine that can handle smoke and char, not something delicate.<\/span> Chenin Blanc and a juicy Shiraz are good places to start, and both stand up well to lamb chops, boerewors and chicken on the coals.<\/p>

Serve red a touch cooler than room temperature outdoors. Keep white in an ice bucket so it stays crisp while the fire does its work.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Pinotage was practically made for a braai. It has the smoke and spice to match boerewors and chops without disappearing into the fire.<\/p>

Cabernet Sauvignon works well with steak and lamb. Give it a few minutes to open up in the glass before you pour.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc both cut through the fat on grilled chicken and sausage. Serve them cold, straight from the fridge, so they stay refreshing next to the coals. A squeeze of lemon on the chicken brings out the fruit in the glass too.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Don't forget the sauces. A sweet chutney glaze or spicy chakalaka can clash with a big red, so keep a bottle of ros\u00e9 nearby as backup. It goes with almost anything coming off the grill, sweet or spicy.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
