Did you know that the tradition of pairing cheese and wine dates back to ancient times?
Both are delicious and when you combine them, it becomes absolutely fantastic! But there are so many types of cheese and so many types of non-alcoholic wine. When combining cheese and non-alcoholic wine, it is important to keep the flavors balanced so that one flavor does not overpower the other.
For example, pair sweeter non-alcoholic wines with sharper cheeses. Also consider the texture of the cheese and the wine. For example, softer cheeses often go well with lighter wines, while harder cheeses go better with fuller wines.
Here are some tips on which cheese we like with which non-alcoholic wine , but feel free to try it yourself to find out what you like best! After all, everyone has unique taste buds.
- Young cheeses pair well with a velvety smooth alcohol-free red wine such as the Leitz Zero Point Five Pinot Noir .
- Soft, creamy cheeses such as Brie, Camembert and goat cheese go beautifully
together with a light, fresh wine such as Ara Sauvignon Blanc or Cognato Chenin Blanc . - Hard cheeses such as Emmentaler, Gouda, but also Feta and Manchego go well with full-bodied white wines such as Chardonnay . These hard cheeses also go well with alcohol-free red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot from Giesen .
- Spicy cheeses such as blue cheese and aged cheeses go well with a nice rosé from Provence or, out of the box, with the Ambijus Real Fantasy .
If you want to try something different and exciting with a cheese board full of delicious soft, hard, spicy and creamy cheeses, try the Ambijus Clearly Confused . This is a sparkling wine alternative that is reminiscent of aromatic cider. Or try the Gnista Red, French Style , a fantastic Swedish "not wine" developed together with sommeliers.
