Is there an alternative to strawberries when drinking champagne with a significant other and having a romantic night?

Any other fruits that would be good?

Blueberries would probably be good.

Also, what analogika said.

OK, and here I was thinking I was just uncultured.

Grilled peach halves drizzled with orange blossom honey with a dollop of Marscapone cheese on top.
That works.

I think the important thing to note is that its the champagne that matters, not what fruit (or whatever else) you serve with it. Good champagne makes up for bad adornments, but its hard to make up for bad champagne. A good (and affordable) choice would be: Korbel Champagne Natural '04

Oh, and I think (ripe) raspberries and blackberries would go quite well with champagne. Especially if you eat them off your significant other's...huh never mind.

Aren't you like, 15 years old or something? Maybe stick with root beer and popcorn?

For something different: try cherry wine with melted chocolate on the rim of the glass. You should use a red wine glass for this, fwiw. Dip glass in melted chocolate, fill with cherry wine, drink while chocolate is still warm. Chocolate covered cherry flavor with alcohol. Nice.
A cherry mead will work as well, just bit sweeter and less chocolate covered cherry tasting. Not as good imho.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

My in laws put raspberries in the champagne glass. Personally, I don't see why anyone drinks champagne.
