If only we could pop sparkling wine every Friday to celebrate the weekend! Blissful isn’t it? When it comes to celebrations, a bottle of Chandon is a must. Gourmet bites along with sparkling wine make for a beautiful addition to your party. There is nothing more beautiful than holding a glass of Chandon and basking in the festivities. Wines have a very remarkable taste in themselves and not every food item could necessarily enhance your experience of the drink. So we’ve curated some scrumptious appetizers for you to try out at home that pairs exceedingly well with our wines.
Appetizer 1
Spinach Quiches
Preparation time: 15 minutes

A very elementary yet delicious recipe that would make you crave for more all the time! Sparkling wines are convivial and happy-mood setters that pair wonderfully well with these tiny little oven-baked dishes. The slight sourness of the spinach helps clean the palate as the acidic flavours of the wine cuts through the richness in the quiche.

Sauté Garlic Mushrooms

The dish may not sound fancy but mushrooms have a very peculiar taste that brings out its simplicity and authenticness. If time is running out to cook something elaborate, just sauté your mushrooms in a pan with butter and garlic and your mouth-watering appetizer is ready! Here’s a tip: Add some spinach and coriander to elevate the dish. A glass of Chandon and a bowl of buttery mushrooms after all make for a scrumptious pair.

Thai Pesto Noodles

Cooking time: 10 minutesÂ
Here’s a curveball revelation. Pesto and sparkling wine are a match made in heaven! You can devour a bowl of flavourful noodles dipped in pesto sauce whilst you enjoy your glass of bubbly. For all our non-vegetarian lovers, adding prawns or chicken to your noodles is an absolute win.
Appetizer 4
Mac & Cheese
