Best Sparkling Wines
Of course, an ordinary bottle of cheap Champagne simply won’t do when it comes to choosing a holiday wine. Switch things up with a new and exciting bottle of bubbly—one that’s a perfect match for the spirit of the season. These sparkling wines will pair perfectly with your holiday festivities.
Domaine B&B Bouche Crémant Rosé
Boutique French Sparkling Rosé
A perfect bubbly delight for a special holiday occasion. This rosé sparkling wine is a rich and bubbly combination filled with much character and zeal to make quite a tasty impression. The first sip reveals fresh, red-berry aromas (hints of strawberry, melon, and rosé), and a pleasantly dry and acidic taste supported by classic brioche characters. With the hints of red-berry comes the delicate, creamy mouthfeel, rounding out the berry allure with a drawn-out, crisp finish.
Imported from France, this rosé wine blend pairs perfectly with holiday specialties such as hors d’oeuvres, shellfish, and even grilled chicken dishes. For the holidays, it’s a pleasant wine to gift or be gifted.
Vina Palaciega Cava Reserva
Spain
Leaving the holidays on an elegant note, the Vina Palaciega Cava Reserva is a remarkable sparkling wine. Imported from Spain, it's known for making the holidays around the world that much merrier.
This sparkling brut features delicate aromas with a long finish. For holiday meals, it pairs lavishly with baked meat and fish cuisines. The wine’s mature taste makes for a fine holiday afternoon among guests, close friends, and companions.
Les Allies Blanc de Blanc
France
Imported from France, this sparkling wine is a brut, meaning very dry, with a sweet delicate vanilla bouquet from aging in French oak.
Blended seamlessly with a fruity aroma, this wine captures a pale yellow color with hints of gold and provides a refreshingly dry taste. With its aromatic and delicate nose, this wine has a very fine and elegant personality.
As far as wine pairings, there are plenty of delicious holiday eats that complement the dryness of this wine. Fatty meats and cheese pair nicely with the sharpness of the 1913 Sparkling Natural Branco Brut. This brut can also provide balance to rather salty and heavy dishes, thanks to its acidity.
Altestelle Spumante
Italy
Imported from Italy, this sparkling wine is crafted from Negroamaro grapes. It offers freshness and ripe flavors of apple, lemon, and pear with delicate bubbles.
Perfect for easy drinking, this bubbly wine makes for a warm night with loved ones.
For holidays, this Spumante pairs excellently with an aperitif or cocktail and goes especially well with appetizers and first courses, seafood, fish, and desserts of every kind.
