Think eating Jamaican jerk might be too hot for you? Try having it with a glass of wine.

You don't have to be a heavy drinker to enjoy a fine glass of wine. 

Fresh, fruity, and sweet (some more so than others), there's a wide selection of wines available island-wide at the superstore chain, Megamart for you to choose from.

The wines pair surprisingly well with the salty, spicy, intense flavors characteristic of many Jamaican dishes including everyone’s favorite, jerk.

If you're dining at your villa, set your wine to chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before your meal to enjoy supreme satisfaction.
