Catalan term
Maridatges de vins i Menjar
Catalan to English
Science
Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
I've just had an argument with someone who insists that there's an English translation of this word which was similar to the original. I insisted that the only translation of this word was Food & wine matching, or matching wine with food, etc. Some wine experts even use "a perfect marriage of food and wine", which I think sounds too farfetched, but I’m no wine connoisseur.
Can anyone shed any light on this matter?
Many thanks

food and wine pairing /matching
These two are widely used, perhaps is more "pairing" than matching, I think.
But look at the definition of "maridaje" (spanish translation from catalan) and will see that marriage is not so far...
