There are some appetizers that suit with champagne better than with any other beverage or alcoholic drink: caviar, as an example, is so well known it doesn't even require presentation.

What more?

Foie gras
OK, liver. I just used the French term that chefs will use; please don't shoot me for that. I mean, champagne is French, isn't it? Anyway, try goose or duck liver. This soft, smooth type of dish will certainly increase your drinking experience.

Raw Oysters
A good combination but you should not use it if you prefer the oysters with lemon or vinegar. These are serious taste decreases when regarding champagne.

Sushi
Just a perfect combination. Almost everybody likes sushi and champagne will surely be the catalyst to a great dinner or party.

Stuffed Mushrooms
Every appetizer that uses mushrooms is a good match for champagne. Of course, do not use any heavy sauce. ...
... Cheese filled mushrooms are a great appetizer.

Raw Shrimp
Shrimp is a good appetizer for champagne at any time. Raw shrimp, especially, will make the taste of your drink a lot better. This is of course, when you avoid the heavy sauce.

Cheese
Well, one of the most sought for appetizers with champagne is cheese. But - yes, there is a but- there are so many types of cheese that it needs a new article. Stay put if want to find out what champagne to use with what cheese.

The appetizers are the introduction to a great meal but, when paired with champagne, they are even more: they are the start of a happy time, of a celebration. Why don't you just try to make every occasion a celebration? Maybe we could be a lot happier then...
