A GUIDE TO THE WORLD OF SPARKLING WINE

F rom Champagne and Cava to Prosecco and Crémant, sparkling wine is more than a celebratory pour with its lively bubbles, bright acidity and refreshing character making it one of the most versatile wine styles to enjoy year-round. Produced in wine regions around the world, sparkling wines are made using a range of methods that create their signature efferves- cence, resulting in styles that vary from crisp and citrusy to rich and complex. From elegant aperitifs to food-friendly companions, they pair beautifully with everything from seafood and salty snacks to fried foods and creamy dishes.
