A Sparkling Wine for Every Celebration By: Jacqueline Coleman | @historyandwine Nothing says “let’s celebrate” more than opening a bottle of bubbly. From Champagne to Prosecco, Cava, and more, there are many ways you can enjoy sparkling wine this holiday season. Here are a few suggestions for bottles to choose from that cover the spectrum of celebrations from casual to fancy. Save Money with a Spanish Cava or Italian Prosecco Cava and Prosecco may be more economical than your average Champagne, but that does not mean that these wines are less enjoyable. Cava is made in the same traditional method as Champagne using a second fermentation in the bottle, though it is produced mostly in the Penedès region of Spain. Prosecco is made in a different way through what is called the Charmat or “tank” Method of making sparkling wine in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of Italy. Segura Viudas Brut Cava, $10 Elegant and economical, Segura Viudas is both! This Cava is crisp and inviting, with fresh citrus fruit a long, smooth finish. Brut means that this wine will be dry as a fully balanced bubbly at a great “party wine” price. means there will be some residual sugar, but just enough to make this bottle perfect as a celebration aperitif. Splurge for Champagne Champagne is sparkling wine made in the traditional method that is only from Champagne, France. Usually, prices are a little higher, but when you want to impress your guests, Champagne is the perfect sparkling to serve. Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut, $80 Few family names are more synonymous with the highest quality French wine than the Rothschild family of Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Lafite Rothschild in Bordeaux, France. If you’re looking to turn the celebration up a notch, consider Champagne Barons de Rothschild, a cuvée made from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir from the Verzenay, Ay, Mareuil-sur-Ay, and Bouzy villages of Champagne. This bottle has pear, citrus, and nutty flavors, fine bubbles, and a strong, persistent finish. Serve chilled and celebrate another fantastic year in the books! Casa Dei Farive Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry, $15 Casa Dei Farive produces the highest level of Prosecco, the Prosecco Superiore DOCG, which can only be made in the Treviso province of Veneto near the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. This sparkling wine is made from 100% Glera grapes and is refreshing and smooth with aromas of white flowers along with flavors of green apple and citrus. Extra Dry
