Halloween is just around the corner, so why not pair your favorite wines with classic candies?

You’ve just uncorked your go-to bottle of Papi Wine and poured glasses for you and your friends, but you can’t help but notice the candy bowl staring at you out of the corner of your eye. Papi Wines’ approachable collection of demi-sec wines makes it the ideal choice for pairing with classic Halloween candies.

Cabernet Sauvignon & Snickers

Snickers are inescapable around this time of year. You’re not you when you're hungry™, but more importantly, Papi gets the party started. The chocolate and peanuts in Snickers mesh wonderfully with the fruity notes of Papi Demi Sec Cabernet Sauvignon, combining a Halloween fan favorite with a classic Papi pick.

Prosecco & Candy Corn

While Candy Corn isn’t exactly a crowd pleaser, it’s a Halloween specialty, so you’re more than likely to encounter it. When you do, take the opportunity to pair it with Papi Prosecco. Its golden bubbles cut the sugar in the candy corn, refreshing your palate for the next pairing.

Rosé & Twix

The lightness of a Twix’s cookie, combined with the richness of its caramel, is only elevated by Papi Demi Sec Rosé. This extra-dry wine’s slightly tart rhubarb flavor complements the candy’s milk chocolate coating, creating a well-balanced yet complex combination.

Pinot Grigio & Starburst

If you have a big sweet tooth, this pairing is for you: Starbursts and Papi Demi Sec Pinot Grigio. Regardless of which Starburst color you reach for (which should be pink), its citrusy flavors will go well with the mild acidity and notes of pear of the softly sweet Pinot Grigio. 

Pinot Noir & KitKats

Let’s take a break from the lighter wines and move on to the candy made for Papi Demi Sec Pinot Noir: KitKats. Delectably crunchy and chocolatey, KitKats make way for the notes of red fruit and the velvety texture of Papi Pinot Noir. This pairing is delectably elevated yet comforting.

Sauvignon Blanc & Sour Patch Kids

If you’re a sucker for sour candy, Papi Demi Sec Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect match for Sour Patch Kids. Its citrus and muscat grape notes mirror the candy’s tangy fruitiness while the gentle sweetness of the wine smooths the edges of the sour coating. The result? A flavorful journey that turns a childhood classic into a grown-up indulgence.
