What alcohol to pair with roast goose? What type of drink would be best paired with roast goose? 

Prior to the discovery of the Americas, roast goose was served as the main course on major days of celebration in Europe. Turkeys were introduced to England in 1550. 

In the Middle Ages, goose was served on feast days such as Christmas, St Michael's Day, Martinmas and the Feast of Sts Peter and Paul for example. 

Canada will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of its foundation as a country on July 1, 1867 and we are planning to make the meal more European in nature in order to remind ourselves of our roots. 

We will have be basing our meal on some Michaelmas traditions from England by having roast goose, chestnut stuffing, rice, gravy,  Brussels sprouts and blackberry pie for dessert (in remembrance of the Blackberry legend involving Lucifer and St Michael). 

My question is quite simple: What alcoholic drinks pair well with roast goose? I am thinking wine, but am open to other recommendations.
Thought I would add my own answer to this fine list of excellent answers.


  Goose is, of course, stronger-flavoured than turkey - more like game but - crucially - quite a bit fattier which makes it essential in my book to look for a wine that has a fair level of acidity. It also tends to be accompanied by powerfully flavoured accompaniments such as chestnuts and red cabbage. Other traditional (and very good) accompaniments are potato or potato and apple stuffing, apples and prunes which can also affect your pairing:
  
  Top quality German or Alsace Grand Cru Riesling
  
  Probably the best match of all if you’re planning an apple or apple and prune stuffing. A dry spätlese Riesling would be ideal, cutting through the fat and providing a subtle touch of sweetness. The drawback is that your guests may well expect a red - but there’s no reason why you can’t serve both.
  
  Gewürztraminer
  
  A bolder choice still for Christmas. Obviously it’s not to everyone’s taste but if you serve a slightly spicy stuffing, especially one that contains dried fruits and/or ginger it would make a great match. Again look for a top quality wine with some intensity from Alsace or New Zealand which is making some great examples.
  
  Pinot Noir
  
  Probably the most likely wine to please your guests and certainly the one to choose if you’re going for red cabbage, sweet potatoes or other richly flavoured veg. I’d choose an example with some sweet, silky fruit rather than big tannins otherwise you may suffer from palate overload .
  
  And some beers to go with goose
  
  Strong Belgian Trappist beers such as Chimay or beers made in that style
  
  These are just as good a match for goose as wine is if truth be told but there are, admittedly, likely to be fewer takers. No harm in having one or two available though. - What to drink with goose


Here is what another site has to say about pairing drinks with goose:


  The richness of goose demands a good wine, such as a top red Burgundy. However, it is often served with sweet side dishes, in which case a sweetish German Riesling might be a good option. In the mid-range, you could try a California Pinot Noir, a good red Rhône or an Australian Shiraz. - Pairing Wine with Meat, Game and Poultry 


If it is beer your into than here you go:  


  Dubbel is also great with duck or goose. The rich and earthy flavor of these birds requires a beer with some heft to it and the dense, dried fruit flavor of dubbel recalls the dark berry sauces that are so commonly served with these birds.
  
  Doppelbock offers another riff on this idea, offering strength and dark berry flavors amidst those of caramel, plums, and figs.
  
  Beers to try: For Dubbel, look to the Chimay above, or grab a Rochefort 6 or Ommegang Abbey Ale. For Doppelbock, Ayinger's Celebrator and Weihenstephan's Korbinian are awesome, widely-available choices. - The Serious Eats Guide to Holiday Beer Pairing


As for Vodka, how about trying some Grey Goose Vodka.
