Top 5 Wines to Enjoy While Watching a Football Match?

Not all of us are die-hard fans of PSG or OM (to name just those two teams)—far from it—but we have to admit that we inevitably have friends or family members around us who are… And a fun little league match or so…

Whether you’re in the mood for chips, pizza, or something sweeter—like dessert or popcorn—here are a few wine suggestions to make your soccer nights as enjoyable as possible. Because there’s more to life than just beer when it comes to watching a game! And whether our favorite team wins or loses, isn’t the important thing to seize the moment and simply have a good time with friends?

Red and rosé for savory dishes

If you prefer savory flavors, we recommend opting for a red from the Côtes-du-Rhône or Languedoc regions. These lively, well-structured wines, with their fruity and spicy notes, will delight you with their lovely finish.

If you prefer the freshness and lightness of rosés, try a Rose de Loire or a Miraflors rosé from Domaine Lafage, which will delight your guests with its slightly spicy aroma and refined character.

All of these pair perfectly with crackers, pizza, and charcuterie or cheese platters.

Bubbles for dessert

If you’ve already moved on to dessert or sweet treats, try pairing them with a Crémant d’Alsace. Or, if you want to impress your guests with a lesser-known wine, treat them to a sparkling Vouvray from Château Valmer. No matter how the game turns out, your friends will have wonderful memories of the evening!

So, when’s your next football party…? But don’t forget—the wine’s too good to drown your disappointment or frustration in it!
