What to drink with a Swiss cheese fondue
There are conflicting claims about the pros and cons of drinking alcoholic beverages with food, especially high fat and high energy meals such as cheese fondue. A team from the University Hospital of Zurich studied 20 people who drank either wine or black tea with this famous Swiss dish, followed by kirsch schnapps or water as a digestive. Find out more about their randomised controlled crossover trial in this nine minute video, which is also available in German.
