People are forever asking what wine matches fish and chips. Well you may be shocked to find that Champagne is far the best match for this underated food.
The fat of the fish is cut through neatly by the acid of the champagne thus delivering a wonderful match. The dryness of Champagnes with ‘Zero Dosage’ or Champagnes without any added sugar are more suitable.
What better way to show off on the beach than to pop the cork of Bollinger, Bruno Paillard, or Ayala with your fish and chips takeaway.
Why not try it while the weather lasts and see the reaction of the other beach goers. OK so the food is cheap but the wine good and the location great.
The alternatives are to have it at home if you don’t want to be seen eating on the beach.
