Recommended wine: Albarino, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Sardines can be paired with Albarino, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé. Strongly flavored, oily fish like sardines pair well with these crisp white wines and sparkling wine, even rosé. The Viontan Albarino with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
