What wine goes with caviar?

Caviar is salty and creamy, and a wine with a lot of flavour quickly overpowers it. Champagne is the classic choice, ideally a Blanc de Blancs: Chardonnay, taut and with fine bubbles. A dry Chardonnay without much oak or a dry Pinot Gris also works. Avoid red wine and heavily oaked wine, as they make the caviar taste metallic.
