While a popular drink at celebrations, it is uncommon for the average wine drinker to enjoy a glass of champagne with a normal meal. Some feel like it is only for special occasions, or maybe you just don’t know what to pair it with. Well experts and amateurs that have experimented both agree that champagne is actually a very versatile and easily enjoyed drink. It goes great with mushrooms of any kind, making it good for a vegetarian meal that replaces the filling chewiness of meat with mushrooms; but it also works well with lighter things like seafood. In fact it goes especially well with lobster. You can even pair it with more everyday foods like pasta, risotto, and even pizza; just go light on the tomato sauce because the acid in tomato doesn’t go well with champagne. Dry or brut champagne is even well known for going good with sushi! This wonderful flexible wine is even good with spicy Asian food or Mexican dishes.
So the next time you are having dinner and want to add a touch of class, bring out the Bacchus champagne flutes and pour yourself some of one of the most adaptable wines out there.
