Is paella eaten for lunch or dinner?

The Spanish rice dish 'Paella' takes its name from the pan it is cooked in, which in turn comes from the Latin word for 'pan' or 'dish. ' Paella is only eaten at lunchtime, never in the evening as it is considered too heavy for dinner.

What should I drink with paella?

If the paella is very flavourful, it is best to pair it with a young and fruity red wine, served at a lower temperature (although not from the fridge). A good option for this type of paella would be a blend of the tempranillo and mencía grape.

Does pinot noir go with paella?

Reds: Pick a medium-bodied, food-friendly wine rather than one that's full-throttle, which will overpower the paella. Some tame reds are grenache, carignan and pinot noir.
