The classic pairing for Macaroni and cheese is a Burgundy--- Perhaps something from the Cote D'Or, or Nuits St. Georges.

Ok. I know this was from like 6 years ago but that was funny. "The classic pairing....".

"A classic Bordeaux is just stunning with rice a roni too"

Answer is any red wine you like will taste great with Macaroni and cheese. It's like asking what is the classic pairing with cheese doodles.

Yes! But as long as it is a "white" cheese and not the sharp cheddar as mentioned in the original post.

With sharp cheddar I'd go with a red. Last time I made mac n cheese with cheddar for my son I think I had a glass of cab with it at dinner.

Barrique aged Barbera.

It depends on the cheese used. The macaroni is not material. For a sharp farmhouse cheddar, I like Pino Noir. For a gloucester, I like a Syrah. If it is a Blue, I like a sweeter wine like an 8% alcohol semi-sweet Riesling. Some like Fontina and an Italian Chardonnay. But, it really depends on the cheese. You may never go wrong with a Pino Noir.

Almost forgot; Champagne always works.

All I know is Wendy's burgers and Big Macs are 100% American dishes.

I'm so ashamed!
