Sauvignon Blanc’s sharp, crisp profile and high acidity cut through the film’s tension, much like the shark’s presence cuts through the calm of Amity Island. Its bright, citrusy notes offer a refreshing contrast to the salty sea air and the film’s gripping suspense, making it a perfect pairing to sip as you watch the residents scramble to deal with the aquatic menace. A New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, with its characteristic zippy acidity and notes of gooseberry and lime, captures the thrill and bite of this timeless summer classic.
