Sparkling Wines

The Ancient Greeks and Romans believed sparkling wine was fizzy because it was enchanted by mischievous spirits. Of course, we now understand the complex processes behind carbonation, but the wine itself has lost none of its magic. From the lush mouthfeel of a good mousse to the floral zing that teases the tongue, this is modern sorcery in action. Browse our selection – hand-picked by our sommeliers – and you'll find all you need to start your celebration with a satisfying pop.

Perhaps you're planning a night in with pals? In which case, prosecco is a must. A delicate, fruity variety will prove easy to drink as the conversation flows, and will pair comfortably with any cheeses or finger foods you've laid on. If you're a keen dinner host, we advise you to keep a bottle of sparkling rosé wine on standby. Exceptionally versatile, its tender acidity goes beautifully with red meat, seafood and much more besides. You'll find plenty of gift-ready wines as well, from bottles filled with gold flakes to handsome boxed vintages.

Look out, too, for the yellow Project Earth banner. This marks sparkling wines that have been produced in a planet-conscious way – by using low-impact pest control measures, for instance, or ensuring the preservation of soil quality. Cheers to that.
