Sparkling Wine
Crisp, lively and festive — celebration in a glass.
What Sparkling Wine actually tastes like
Sparkling wine is celebration in a bottle. Whether it is Italian Prosecco, Spanish Cava, Crémant from France or a New World traditional method bottle, the formula is the same: dry, lively, refreshing wine carrying festive bubbles. It is the most versatile food wine in the world.
Why people love it: Bubbles, brightness and just enough sweetness.
Best food pairings
Sparkling wine pairs with absolutely everything — fried snacks, sushi, charcuterie, cheese, even pizza. The bubbles and acidity cut through fat and refresh the palate.

Frequently asked questions about Sparkling Wine
Champagne vs Prosecco?
Champagne is the legally-protected sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France. Prosecco is Italian sparkling wine made from Glera grapes — softer, fruitier and more affordable.
Brut vs dry sparkling?
“Brut” means dry. “Extra dry” is actually slightly sweeter than brut. Confusing, but useful to know.
Does sparkling wine go bad once opened?
It loses its fizz within 12-24 hours, even with a stopper. Drink the bottle the day you open it.
