Sparkling wines are a favorite this time of year, but they’re not just reserved for special occasions. Thanks to the high acid and refreshing effervescence, a glass of bubbly can be the perfect choice for pairing with cheese or other food. From a light Italian Prosecco to a value Cava from Spain, or even the big, yeasty, full-bodied Champagne of France, there’s a sparkling wine for every budget and every occasion. Cheers!
