Wine pairing charts for choosing a bottle for a dinner. The pictures match red meat, poultry, fish, pasta, cheese and dessert to wine styles, sort the main grape varieties from light to full-bodied, and show six glasses with the serving temperature under each. Type a different subject, such as red only, sparkling or a Christmas dinner, and the same three styles carry the request.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
