Bubbly Wine Pairings

01 Champagne - Bites for Bubbles

Perfect Pairings for Champagne, Prosecco & Sparkling White Wines

White Chocolate & Caramel

THE VIBE

Like Champagne and Cher, this mix knows how to make an entrance. It’s the Katharine Hepburn of trail mixes—classy, sophisticated, and occasionally shows up in potato sticks. Think of this as the Spencer Tracy to your Joan Crawford (before the wire hangers). Perfect for when you’re feeling fancy but refuse to take yourself too seriously, like watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s in your pajamas or pretending you understand opera.

What’s In The Bag?

White Chocolate & Caramel Dusted:

Build Your Buzz Board

Tipsy Mix is your Buzz Board foundation—the easy button for elevated snacking. Pop open the bag, and you’re already 80% there.

Want to go full spread? Add any of the perfectly paired options below and watch your snack game level up instantly.

Think of it as adult Legos: we give you the base, you add whatever sounds good. No rules, no judgment, just really good food that works together like it was meant to be.

THE SAVORY SETUP

For when you need substance with your snacking (or at least pretend to).

Mild blue cheese like Gorgonzola Dolce

THE FRESH AND CRUNCHY

Texture matters. Variety is key. These add both (if you’re feeling ambitious).

Vegetables

Endive spears
Sugar snap peas
Baby carrots
Radishes with butter

Chips and Snacks

Kettle-cooked potato chips (plain or sea salt)
Pita chips
Veggie straws
Rice crackers

Side Salads

Cucumber dill salad
Caprese salad
Arugula with lemon vinaigrette
Potato salad (German-style)

BUZZ BOARD PRO TIPS

Temperature: Let cheeses come to room temperature for 30-60 minutes before serving. Cold cheese is sad cheese.
Visual Appeal: Arrange items in odd numbers (3, 5, 7) for maximum aesthetic impact. Your phone camera will thank you.
The Tipsy Mix Trick: Use it both as scattered garnish across the board AND in small bowls for grabbing. Double duty = smart hosting.
Tools Matter: Include small spoons for jams and spreads. Champagne and finger foods go together, but jam needs a spoon.
Herbaceous Vibes: Add fresh herbs like thyme or edible flowers for aroma and color. They’re basically edible decorations.
The Golden Rule: Always include something crunchy, something creamy, something salty, something sweet. Balance is everything—just like good champagne.

What NOT to Pair

Like milk and lemons, some things just don’t vibe together. Skip these:

Heavy smoked meats (overpowers the delicate sparkling wine)
Sharp aged cheddars (too aggressive)
Spicy condiments
Overly acidic pickles

CULTURAL PAIRINGS: WHAT TO WATCH, WHAT TO LISTEN TO

Because the right soundtrack and screen time matter.

FOR THE BOOMERS & GEN-X CROWD:

Pairs With:

The Philadelphia Story, Charade, champagne problems, New Year’s Eve without the amateur hour crowd, or pretending you summer in the Hamptons when you really just have a timeshare in Branson.

Soundtrack:

Anything Sinatra. Or Ella Fitzgerald. You know, when music required actual vocal cords.

FOR MILLENNIALS & GEN Z:

The Vibe: Think Bridgerton but with actual plot, or Emily in Paris if Emily had any actual class. It’s the snack equivalent of main character energy—like Zendaya at the Met Gala or that moment when Lizzo played a 200-year-old flute.

Pairs With:

The White Lotus, rosé all day vibes, or pretending you’re at Coachella when you’re really just on your couch.

Soundtrack:

Lana Del Rey, Harry Styles, or that one Olivia Rodrigo song that makes you cry for no reason.

THE FINE PRINT: Regret sold separately. Charcuterie skills not included. Cultural references span multiple generations because good snacking is timeless. No trail mix was harmed in the making of these descriptions, though several were consumed during the writing process. Your mileage may vary based on how much TV you watch and whether you think TikTok is a clock or a lifestyle.
