The history of Chinese cuisine in China stretches back for thousands of years and has changed from period to period and in each region according to climate, imperial fashions, and local preferences. Over time, techniques and ingredients from the cuisines of other cultures were integrated into the cuisine of the Chinese people due both to imperial expansion and from the trade with nearby regions in pre-modern times, and from Europe and the New World in the modern period. In addition, dairy is rarely—if ever—used in any recipes in the style. The "Eight Culinary Cuisines" of China[1] are Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan, and Zhejiang cuisines.[2] The staple foods of Chinese cooking include rice, noodles, vegetables, and sauces and seasonings.

Box 891, Taichung 407, Taiwan 13 Received 7 March 2016; accepted 16 November 2016 15 17 Abstract 19 This study explores the guiding principle for pairing common western table wines such as Chardonnay, Riesling, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with authentic Chinese cuisines. Sensory evaluation was carried out to measure the affective level on the pairing of food and wine. A fi 21 ve by eight (4 different wines and no wine pairing with 8 different cuisines) factorial experiment design was carried out to attain the sensory affection from the taste panel. Hedonic rating was adopted to assess the affective response of the cuisine and wine pairings. The results of affective test indicated that Riesling was the preferred wine to pair with most of the Chinese cuisines in question. The interaction was significant 23 between different cuisines and wines (p¼0.000), indicating that the hedonic sensory pattern of the cuisine can be influenced by the type of wine paired. In addition, Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) graph was proven to be an effective tool for visualizing the guiding principle of food and 25 wine pairing. & 2016 AZTI-Tecnalia.
