Chocolate is very sweet and, for this reason, it&#8217;s important to make sure that you choose just the right bottle of bubbly.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">When you run a search online, you will see that there are plenty of opinions regarding chocolate and champagne pairings. Some love combining the two while others are not particular fans of the combination. If you know somebody with a sweet tooth, you can&#8217;t go wrong with a champagne and chocolate gift.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">It&#8217;s a good idea to remember that you need to choose the right type of bubbly. Different types of champagne have different flavours and some are sweeter than others. Ruby Porto or Late Harvest Zinfandel are both excellent options to pair with bittersweet chocolate. Tawny Porto is better for milk chocolate. Bubbles with a more delicate flavour require a greater level of care when it comes to selecting a chocolate with which to pair this bottle.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">A doux champagne or demi-sec bottle can be the best solution for those who are new to the idea of choc and bubbly pairing. Both have bold enough flavours to hold up against the very sweet taste of chocolate. Ros\u00e9 champagnes are excellent for pairing with sweets. Brachetto d&#8217;Acqui is a lovely option to pair with chocolate if you want something on the reddish side.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Finally, if you ever unsure, you can rely on a chocolate and champagne gift hamper to solve your pairing problem. Experts make these pairings with the various flavours in mind so you don&#8217;t have to give it as much thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chocolate might be one of the most difficult foods to pair with wine but this does not mean it&#8217;s impossible.
