What to drink with cheese board
Short answer: Port, Sauternes or Champagne. Runner-up: Off-dry Riesling.
Why it works
Mix of styles: sweet wines for blue, bubbles for creamy, red for hard cheese.
There is no single wine for every cheese: bubbles for soft creamy ones, port or Sauternes for blue, structured reds for aged hard cheese.
Quick picks
- Best match: Port, Sauternes or Champagne
- Alternative: Off-dry Riesling
- Avoid: very tannic or heavily oaked wines unless the dish is rich red meat.
