The Best Wines for Watching Football

Cuvée Bleue: For Supporters of the French Team

For you and your group of friends, football is almost a religion. You never miss a game and plan to follow the entire World Cup with your mates. One of the enjoyable aspects of watching a football tournament is, of course, supporting a team. While we would have loved to suggest blue wine for the French team, this Spanish invention isn’t available here yet. Don’t worry, we have the perfect alternative: Cuvée Bleue from Domaine de Barroubio. This fresh, white wine with a rich mouthfeel and flavors of candied pears is a star at the aperitif but also pairs beautifully with chocolate desserts and blue cheeses. And if the French team makes it to the finals, you might even indulge and serve this wine with foie gras!

Cuvée Oenopotes: For a Football Aperitif

Even if you’re not a football fan, watching a match on TV is always a great excuse for a fun "hangout with friends" evening. To complement your football aperitif, we recommend Cuvée Oenopotes from Château Haut-Bernasse, AOC Bergerac. This indulgent red wine with aromas of dark fruits and spicy notes flows smoothly and pairs perfectly with a charcuterie platter.
