What do you drink with cheese? I love wine and cheese. And maybe some grapes. What's a good alternative to wine to drink with cheese? |
Sparkling water goes well with almost anything. For a little bite, you could try Chinotto (italian cola) D |
Thanks Dee. I was thinking of sparkling water but I wanted something with a little flavour. I could always do the lime (or lemon?) Perrier. It's too bad they don't make a "near" wine like non-alcoholic beer. |
Ginger beer is tasty. I tend to drink it with food. |
Apple juice or some other tart fruit juice might go well. I love cheese all by itself too :-) |
Mmmmm bubbly water is my favorite. What about that with a twist of lime, or how about ginger beer/ale? I am not a fan of the ginger beer I had overseas but I love Canada Dry and Schweppes ginger ale. How about a crisp cranberry juice? Not the chock full of sugar kind but the real stuff. I love pretty much any and all San Pellegrino beverages. But cheese? Girlfriend I could eat cheese with anything or nothing, day or night. lol Although sober, I loved to sneak a couples slices of cheddar or marble cheese with some nice cold bubbly ginger ale right before bed. Colby cheese... mmmmm Cheeeeeese..... :eat |
How about bread 🤔 |
Wow lots of good suggestions. Ginger ale would definitely be good. I would never have thought of that. Thanks everyone! |
There are some non alcoholic. Adult sodas at my health food store, less sugar, more grown up flavors I suppose. I also like taking bilberry tincture/ extract or elderberry syrup and mixing it with sparkling water, not too sweet and actually really good for health... La Croix is really good too. |
The peach-pear La Croix might be great with cheese. It is my personal favorite. The flavors would probably complement the cheese. |

I haven't seen the apricot in stores! I might order some. :) |
I like the blood orange San pellagrino and I cut up a fresh orange and squeeze it in there. Not sure how it goes with cheese but the drink is fun and yummy. I also drink la croix like its going out of style! |
Usually nothing, but a cuppa tea is ok. Reminds me of an event in my drinking days. Went to this wine and cheese evening, got well smashed. I thought at the time what a geat way to get pissed. Next weekend, just me, a cask of chateau blotto and a 1KG block of Mainland Tasty and I was in business. The cheese was really superfluous, it was the booze I was interested in. |
Grape Nehi! Like Radar O'Reilly used to drink. |
Aloe Vera. Healthy and delicious. Sugar free bitter lemon. Tastes almost alcoholicy. |
Grape juice or non-alcoholic wine. |
Blackcurrant juice ? I think fruit & cheese works wonderfully |
A lot of things I liked went good with beer. When I quit drinking I discovered what I liked about beer and [insert food description here] was really just the beer. Without the wine, maybe cheese will be less appealing. |
I wouldn't eat Brie for the longest after I quit drinking. Wine was my drink of choice. The cheese had suddenly lost its appeal. But as Soberwolf mentioned above, cheese and fruit are wonderful together. So later on, I found I enjoyed cheese again as long as I paired it with tasty fruits. |
