These days, people are refraining from going out due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
There seems to be an increasing demand for holiday camps that allow people to relax and get away from everyday life while avoiding crowds indoors.
To refresh yourself during the self-restraint period, why not bring a glass of wine and go camping with your family?
Enjoy camping meals in style with wine
I think it's important to casually enjoy wine outdoors without worrying too much about how it pairs with food, but if you're going camping, why not enjoy a luxurious meal with wine that goes well with the food that can only be enjoyed outdoors? Is that okay?
This time, we will introduce recommended wines that go well with camping meals and make your camping experience even more delicious and stylish.
Recommended camping food x wine
Make camping a little different with standard camping food + wine
A classic camping meal that you will definitely want to eat when you go camping.
Even if you have the same camping meal as usual, you can enjoy a different atmosphere by pairing it with wine.
Speaking of camping food, it's definitely BBQ.
The great thing about BBQ is that basically any wine goes well with it, but the red wine I especially recommend is Lambrusco.
Lambrusco is a slightly sparkling red wine produced in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. It has a fruity taste and relatively low alcohol content, making it refreshing and easy to drink. The fresh acidity and light bubbles wash away the fat in your mouth, so you can enjoy greasy meat dishes such as BBQ. Since it is a slightly sparkling wine, it can be chilled very cold, so it is also recommended as a toast.
Cavicchioli/ Lambrusco Ancestral
[blogcard url="https://www.winenation.jp/view/item/000000003280"]
This is a dry Lambrusco made using the traditional production method called Ancestral, which is a process where half-fermented wine is bottled and fermentation continues in the sealed bottle to create sparkling bubbles. A luxurious wine made 100% from the Sorvara variety, which is rich in acid and suitable for long-term aging.
Waterless curry with canned tomatoes
Curry, which is easy to make, is a popular standard menu even when camping with a large number of people.
If you want to make curry while camping, a waterless curry that uses only the water from vegetables is convenient.
It's easy to make. Just stir-fry plenty of vegetables and add canned tomatoes instead of water. All you have to do is add regular curry powder and you'll have a waterless curry full of vegetable flavor that uses the water from the vegetables and the water from the canned tomatoes. By adding canned tomatoes, the acidity of the tomatoes matches the acidity of the wine, making it easy to pair with wine.
For the slightly sweet tomato curry, we recommend red wine, which has mellow tannins and a fruity sweetness.
Felline/ Simfarosa Zinfandel [2016] 750ml Red Wine
[blogcard url="https://www.winenation.jp/view/item/000000003577"]
A mellow red wine made from 100% Zinfandel (also known as Primitivo) that has been soaked in the sun in the Puglia region of southern Italy. It has soft tannins and the sweetness of ripe fruit. It's a food-friendly wine that's easy to drink and goes well with meals.
Hot sandwiches perfect for breakfast or lunch
Hot sandwiches are a staple of camping breakfast. We recommend making it for lunch and pairing it with wine as a midday drink menu. Enjoy with your favorite toppings such as roast ham, eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, etc.
The wine you want to pair with will depend on the ingredients you put in it, but here we recommend rosé wine, which is a versatile wine that goes well with any food. It also goes well with hot sandwiches that have a variety of ingredients in them. It has a refreshing rosé color, so it looks gorgeous and is perfect for a daytime drink.
E Guigal/ Cotes du Rhone Rosé [2018] 750ml Rosé
[blogcard url="https://www.winenation.jp/view/item/000000004662"]

Easy and stylish classic camping meal Ajillo
An easy and stylish camping meal that you can make by simply adding your favorite ingredients to olive oil, garlic, and red chili peppers and heating them up. You can also use aluminum foil or canned food instead of a pot. Generally, shrimp and mushrooms are common, but you can make ajillo with a variety of ingredients, so it's nice to have a wide range of arrangements. It also works great as a snack for wine.

[blogcard url="https://www.winenation.jp/view/item/000000003833"]
Try pairing Spanish wine with ajillo, which is Spanish tapas (small plates). We recommend a white wine from the Spanish variety Albariño. It has a clean, dry aroma of citrus fruits and a salty, mineral flavor, making it perfect for dishes using seafood.
Easy cheese fondue with camembert cheese
If you're camping, you can easily enjoy cheese fondue with just a few ingredients. To make it, just remove the white mold from the top, wrap the camembert cheese in aluminum foil, and heat it on a grill or skillet. Once the cheese has melted, dip it with your favorite ingredients and enjoy. It looks stylish and is a popular recipe on social media. The pot doesn't get dirty either, so it's easy to clean up afterwards.
Chateau Saint Michel/Columbia Valley Chardonnay [2017] 750ml White Wine
[blogcard url="https://www.winenation.jp/view/item/000000007750"]
Try pairing a cheese fondue with Camembert cheese with barrel-aged Chardonnay. By carrying out a fermentation method called malolactic fermentation, the malic acid contained in the wine is converted to lactic acid by the action of lactic acid bacteria, resulting in a white wine with a mellow, rich taste that removes the sharp acidity. The right amount of barrel texture matches the creaminess of camembert cheese.
A special recipe from a certain popular camping anime: Tomato Sukiyaki
This is a camping meal that was introduced in a certain very popular camping anime. By adding tomatoes, you can turn ordinary sukiyaki into a stylish Western-style sukiyaki in no time.
To make it, simply add garlic, onions, tomatoes, and basil sautéed in olive oil to regular sukiyaki, then simmer with the meat. In the anime, a character laments, ``There's no wine even though it goes well with wine.'' Don't forget to prepare your own wine.
Mazzei Fontelutoli/Fontelutoli Chianti Classico [2017] Red Wine 750ml
[blogcard url="https://www.winenation.jp/view/item/000000001490"]
A common way to create a marriage is to match the colors of the dishes. I like to pair red wine with red tomato dishes. Also, a wine with a rich and powerful flavor is best to pair with the strong flavor of sukiyaki. Chianti Classico from Italy has a pleasant taste and a concentrated fruit flavor, so it goes well with tomatoes and brings out the flavor of meat.
