Chorizo
Chorizo sausage is made from pork and flavoured with garlic and paprika which also gives it a rich red colour. It is smoked and can be bought fresh or dried. A traditional way of heating and serving it is in an 'asador'. This is a terracotta dish where the chorizo sits on a rack and a type of Portuguese grappa is poured beneath and lit giving a wonderful smoky flavour to the sausage.

Hot Tips
Red wine or white wine?
The general rule with wine is that red wine, with its richer and deeper flavours, is a great accompaniment to red meats, while white wine works well with white meats (fish and chicken). However take time to experiment, there are plenty of exceptions to the rules and with wine the rules are definitely made to be broken.
