Rose hip + Wine
Not a natural pairing: they share little aroma and few recipes use both, which puts them in the bottom 36% of all ingredient pairs.
Do rose hip and wine go together?
Not really. No recipe in our pairing index uses both, and they share 68 flavor molecules. That places them in the bottom 36% of every ingredient pair we score.
What they have in common
They overlap on 68 flavor molecules: 31% of rose hip's 220. Among the shared key aromas are 2-methylbutyraldehyde (malty, chocolate) and isobutyraldehyde (malty, green). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell.
