EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE

CHAMPAGNE just might be the best food wine on the planet. While it rightly gets popped for the most special occasions, it’s still a wine, something that more and more of us are using to celebrate everyday moments, like the perfection of some seriously mouthwatering French fries or juicy chicken done just right. Champagne is the only wine you can drink 24 hours a day, notes Didier Mariotti, cellar master at Veuve Clicquot—so yes, he would say that, but we like his style. “You can drink it with breakfast, over brunch, with a sandwich at lunch, as an aperitif, with dinner and on into the night.” Here are 11 bottles, and their ideal companions, to add to your table every week.
