In many cases the best pairings would be based on the sauce used rather than the item itself. For example, if you have a red tomato based sauce (ketchup based) with your chicken mcnuggets then a light red like a beaujolais would be a good choice. If you are having your mcnuggets with a honey sauce then a white, like a gewurz, could work.
Generally go with what has the most influence on taste.
NTBASA but eating frozen pizza has to be tough on the teeth
I recall voting, one Hogmanay in Scotland, that a Portugese wine called “Sanguina Del Toro” (roughly “blood of the bull”) was the “Best Wine to be Paired With Cool Ranch Doritos”.
Of course, I was on a world-champion bender at the time.
I drink the coldest pinot grigio or fume blanc I can find in the fridge with most junk food, except tomato-sauced pizzas that get the decent merlots and cab sav blends.
I live two blocks from one of Seattle’s best wine stores (Pete’s Wine and Grocery !) and couldn’t be (buuurp) happier.
I’ll echo this. Can the OP be extended to allow beer? 'Course, the answer then is simple: any beer goes with any junk food consumed when you’re hot and tired.
Otherwise, I’ll listen with awe to the wine experts who can say what wine they should serve at Der Wienerschnitzel.
With any seafood (fish sticks) or poultry (chicken nuggets), I prefer Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill or Blanc de Blanc. It enhances the preservative-y flavors.
