Gyros can be paired with White Wine, Alcoholic Drink, and Ingredient. If you feel like going Greek with your Greek food, assyrtiko and moschofilero are both lovely white wines to pair with chicken, seafood, etc. Agiorgitiko is a full bodied red suitable for roasted meats and lamb. The Torres Sangre de Toro Cava with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

Torres Sangre de Toro Cava

Pale yellow with fine and persistent perlage. Intense. Floral and fresh fruit aromas in perfect harmony with citrus and aniseed notes. Creamy bubbles, luscious and fresh.
