According to a wine specialist, fried chicken and Champagne go really well together.
Beer may reign supreme at tailgates, but if the shortage of White Claw is any indicator, people are willing to branch out from their go-to brew.
Dare we suggest wine as an alternative Sunday Funday drink of choice? Let's not forget an Eagles red blend was created to celebrate the Super Bowl LII victory, so obviously wine and football DO go together.
Maybe you're more of a wine drinker in general. Whatever the case, if you're choosing wine over beer this Eagles season, we can help you pick which bottle to buy.
PhillyVoice got advice from Drew Cottle, wine specialist for Fine Wine & Good Spirits, on what wine pairs best with popular tailgate snacks.
Use this knowledge on Sunday, or tuck it away for now until you want to feel extra fancy on your couch with takeout.
