Apart from being a complete food in itself, eggs form the basis of many dishes: omelettes, pies, crepes, quiches, fillings, not forgetting the legendary carbonara. Eggs vary in consistency between liquid and solid and have a recognisable flavour. On the palate, they are characterised by their fatness and sweetness. The wines recommended with egg dishes are light, fresh, young whites, also sparkling. They can be more or less structured wines, depending on the dish.
