Food Pairing Calculator: Matching Champagne and Dish

Food Pairing Calculator

Champagne carries a lot of acidity and bubbles. That makes it strong with salty and fatty food and tricky with very sweet or bitter dishes. This calculator works both ways: from dish to style, or from style to dish.

Pick the taste notes of your dish, or choose a champagne style and see the food that fits.

The principle

The basis is the taste-note hexagon of sweet, sour, salty, spicy, fatty and bitter. Also mind intensity: delicate dishes suit delicate styles, bold dishes suit bold styles.
