Do you have a bottle of champagne handy? Try this champagne fondue recipe. It’s very similar to the basic cheese fondue recipe except that you use champagne instead of white wine.

Of course, if you’re trying to impress a special someone, champagne has this je ne sais quoi posh attitude. Go for it and perhaps finish off your meal with a delicious chocolate fondue.
