Always keep in mind that Champagne and other sparkling wines are great food wines and go with a surprising number of takeaways. Tacos, with fish, shellfish, guacamole, or a herby, mildly spicy salad are best with a richer white wine. More robust foods such as lamb, especially with a bit of heat, are best with more powerful red wines, preferably without tannins. It is a great match for sparkling wines including good Champagne; otherwise think of Pinot Gris (again), Riesling or Pinot Noir. Otherwise unoaked whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Albariño, and unoaked Chardonnay; just go easy on the vinegar.
