Potato Chips: Champagne & Sauvignon Blanc
Classic potato chips are light, salty, and crunchy—perfect for pairing with a crisp, refreshing wine.
Champagne or another dry
sparkling wine is a top choice, as its bubbles cut through the salt and cleanse your palate. For a still option,
Sauvignon Blanc offers zesty acidity and citrus flavors that enhance the chips’ savory nature without overwhelming them.
Popcorn: Prosecco & Chardonnay
Whether it’s buttered, salted, or lightly seasoned, popcorn is a versatile snack that pairs wonderfully with wine.
Prosecco brings lively bubbles and a hint of sweetness to complement the popcorn’s crunch. Alternatively, a lightly oaked
Chardonnay adds a creamy texture that matches well with buttery popcorn, making for a comforting and classic combination.
Pretzels: Cava & Riesling
Pretzels deliver a satisfying saltiness with a chewy or crunchy bite.
Cava, a Spanish
sparkling wine, offers refreshing acidity and bubbles that cut through the salt. For a sweeter contrast,
Riesling—especially off-dry—balances the savory flavors and adds a touch of fruitiness that keeps your palate refreshed.
Cheese & Crackers: Pinot Grigio & Beaujolais
A platter of cheese and crackers is endlessly customizable, but most combinations shine with a bright white or a light red.
Pinot Grigio is crisp and clean, highlighting the cheese’s creaminess and the crackers’ crunch. For a red wine,
Beaujolais delivers juicy berry flavors and gentle tannins that suit a range of mild to medium cheeses.
Mixed Nuts: Rosé & Vermentino
Mixed nuts offer a blend of salty, roasted, and sometimes sweet flavors.
Rosé is a versatile match, providing both acidity and fruitiness to complement different nut varieties. For a unique twist,
Vermentino—a Mediterranean white—brings herbal and citrus notes that pair well with the rich, earthy flavors of nuts.
Chips & Salsa: Albariño & Lambrusco
Chips and salsa combine salty, crunchy chips with zesty, sometimes spicy, salsa.
Albariño, a Spanish white, offers vibrant acidity and a hint of salinity that pairs beautifully with the flavors. For something different, a chilled
Lambrusco—a
sparkling Italian red—adds a fruity, fizzy profile that matches the lively nature of this classic snack.
