Did you know that this day exists? Probably not, but the truth is that this day is celebrated every year, more precisely on January 10th. But how is it possible that the most elegant and charming wine is the most harmonious companion for the most trivial and common appetizer?
The explanation lies in the high natural acidity and the natural effervescence of champagne due excellent to complement the fat, salt and crunchiness of the chips. On the other hand, the delicate flavours of champagne will not overpower a simple comfort food. That is why champagne is a very harmonious pairing for rich and oily dishes acting as a palate cleanser. The minerality, the vibrant acidity and the persistent bubbles marry perfectly with the crisp, salty exterior and the savoury, smooth interior of the fry. And if accompanied by a mayonnaise-based sauce, that extra creaminess will only highlight the excellence of the pairing.
Now that you know the technical explanation, please don't wait for a festive date to open a bottle of champagne. Celebrate life and simplicity by enjoying some crispy fries with a glass of champagne. Some even say it is the pairing par excellence. Try it and let us know if your palate approves: Sparkling&Champagne.
