Sparkling wine is a wine that is naturally carbonated by a second fermentation; types include champagne, cava, and prosecco.

Recipes

  1. Sparkling Pomegranate Spritzers

    Prosecco is a sparkling wine from Italy. Other dry, non-sweet sparkling wines work well for these quick-and-easy Valentine's Day-inspired spritzers, too. Look for bottles labeled "brut" or "extra dry."

  2. Mrs. Lenkh's Cheese Sables

    These crackers are great with drinks and go especially well with dry and off-dry sparkling wines . The dough keeps for two days in the fridge, and for months in the freezer (thaw it in the fridge before using).

  3. Pomegranate Sparklers

    Find ruby red pomegranate seeds in the refrigerated section of many markets. Use them as edible baubles on Christmas cocktails, including this one with sparkling wine .
