Aperitif scenery
Let's enjoy an aperitif! ...But if you're wondering what kind of snacks you should prepare and what to drink, don't worry. Aperitifs are surprisingly casual in France, so don't worry. Let's take a look at the aperitifs of the producers at Mavi.
Just open the bag! Enjoy a casual aperitif.
The most common snacks to go with an aperitif are the easy-to-make store-bought snacks. Pretzels, crackers, dried fruit, nuts, etc., can all be taken straight from the bag and placed on a plate. When I visited the Briard family , who make champagne, they even served me Japanese rice crackers. Recently, Japanese rice crackers and rice crackers have also become popular as aperitif accompaniments.

The Meyer family

Healthy fresh vegetables and fruits
Many of Mavi's producers have their own fields for their own consumption, so there are freshly picked vegetables and fruits on display. Fresh vegetables are delicious enough on their own, but having a few homemade dips on hand will make wine even more enjoyable. Eating vegetables before a meal helps keep blood sugar levels down, so it's also recommended from the perspective of food pairing.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan, roll out the dough that has been left to rest a little thicker than a crepe, and bake. It is also recommended to add black pepper or cumin powder to your liking when mixing the dough.
Recommended wines for aperitifs
After work, at a home party, or even outdoors in the evening...Once you've decided on the situation in which you'll enjoy an aperitif, it's time to find the perfect wine. Since it's before a meal, we recommend a light, easy-to-drink alcoholic drink, but of course it's all up to your preferences, so feel free to choose what you drink. Aperitifs are all about enjoying something casually, without any complicated details!
Apparently, locals often drink cocktails made with high-alcohol distilled spirits and liqueurs.

We recommend this low-alcohol sparkling wine with a gentle sweetness for women and those who don't drink a lot of alcohol. Although it is sweet, it has no added sugar, so you can enjoy the natural sweetness of the grapes. Enjoy it with biscuits, crackers, and fresh cheese.
