Sparkling wine can be enjoyed in any time of year, not just for celebrations. The pleasure with which we can spoil ourselves in everyday intimate surroundings is not unreasonably expensive. Once you’ve mastered opening and serving sparkling winee penine, you can prepare a snack to go with it.

It is a good idea to combine sparkling wine with a light body with light, crispy and soft food, such as cheese sticks, goat cheese or small oysters. Sparkling wine of medium body suits fish dishes, such as grilled bass or stewed oysters. Sparkling wine with a full body goes well with dishes with a stronger and more permanent flavour (foie gras, grilled ham).
