Palmer & Co Rosé Solera Champagne Brut Magnum

Serving an aperitif before a meal can stimulate the appetite and set the mood. A good aperitif is mild, crisp and dry.

Flavoursome lamb and mutton can be prepared in many ways. It’s worth choosing a full-bodied beverage to accompany strongly flavoured meats. Lamb is slightly milder in taste than mutton, but the same beverages will work well with both.

A rich and nuanced red wine suits strongly flavoured game birds, and a similarly full-bodied and aromatic beer will work just as well.

Pale, fresh and mild cheeses are best enjoyed with similarly fresh and mild beverages. For example, a crisp and acidic white wine, a light red wine, or a flavoursome beer.
