Description
Couscous with Fish or Vegetables is a classic Mediterranean dish. It deserves a mediterranian white wine.
Couscous with Chicken needs a bit more body, and Couscous with lamb needs even more.
Rosé wines are often preferred with spicy Couscous, because they bring the necessary sweetness to a spicy dish.
