Sparkling wine is a lively and effervescent category of wine characterised by its bubbles, which are created through natural fermentation processes that trap carbon dioxide. While Champagne from France is the most famous example, sparkling wine is made all over the world using various methods and grape varieties. Styles range from dry (Brut) to sweet (Demi-Sec or Dolce), and flavours can include green apple, citrus, toast, brioche, stone fruits, and floral notes depending on the grapes used and how long the wine is aged on its lees.
Sparkling wines can be made using the Traditional Method (like Champagne and Cava), Tank Method (like Prosecco), or other techniques. Celebrated for their festive character and versatility, sparkling wines are enjoyed both as aperitifs and with food, pairing well with seafood, creamy cheeses, fried dishes, and desserts.
