Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Sparkling Rose, Viognier

Pinot Grigio, Sparkling rosé, and Viognier are great choices for Mackerel. Strongly flavored, oily fish like mackerel pair well with these crisp white wines and sparkling wine, even rosé. The St. Michael-Eppan Anger Pinot Grigio with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
