Celebration Cheese: Matching Cheese and Sparkling Wine

Ned Palmer, 23.12.2021

December is a time for fizz...and cheese boards. Our resident cheese expert puts two and two together and tells you which combinations work best – from Champagne to sparkling Shiraz.

Champagne, that noble tipple, is a fitting partner for a cheese which was dubbed Le Roi des Fromages at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. This also happens to be one of my favourite pairings, not least because it expresses three different concepts of matching cheese and booze.
