The Best Sparkling Wines for Christmas – A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Bottle or Mixed Case

Who doesn’t love a glass of fizz at Christmas time?

Sparkling wine is the most popular choice for Christmas. It’s a bit of a cliché, but if you serve sparkling wine at Christmas, it just feels like Christmas. It’s festive and celebratory – the perfect accompaniment to a family Christmas meal.

Whether you’re serving canapés at a pre-Christmas drinks party or hosting a fully fledged turkey dinner, the right sparkler will complement any meal – and leave guests feeling merry. Remember that sparkling wines come in various styles, including sweet, brut and dry. Selecting the right one will ensure that both the wine and your guests’ taste buds finish the meal on a high.

A Prosecco-Style Semi-Dry White

Prosecco is a dry Italian sparkling wine and the most popular sparkling wine worldwide – perfect for those who prefer a drier, less sweet fizz. Its fresh, fruity flavour works well with festive foods like Christmas pudding, cranberry sauce, and nuts.

Our sparkling range includes a semi-dry white with a beautiful bouquet of jasmine and acacia flowers. Produced using the Charmat method – the same method used for most Prosecco – it has a pleasant bubbly texture and will nicely complement your Christmas cheese platters or dessert.

Brut Crisecco

If you enjoy a dry Prosecco but want something a touch richer, Crisecco brut white is the sparkling wine to explore. Produced using Italian technology with fermentation in steel tanks, it preserves a fresh taste and pleasant aromas. The winemakers use the indigenous Moldovan grape Fetească Albă, which offers fresh, lively, balanced acidity with floral flavours and a citrus touch. Served chilled at 8–10°C, Crisecco brut pairs perfectly with Christmas canapés and seafood starters. See our Crisecco brut white sparkling wine

Sweet Red

If you’re looking for something different this Christmas and have a sweet tooth, a sparkling red may be the one for you. Its bouquet of red fruits and berries makes it a perfect pairing with Christmas pud, as well as other desserts containing chocolate, berry tarts or brownies. Produced by the same Charmat method used for Prosecco and Lambrusco, it has a pleasant acidity and bubbly texture. See our sparkling wines

Sweet Rosé

Do you fancy a sweeter fizz? A blend of grape varieties results in a salmon-coloured sweet rosé sparkling wine with a wild berry bouquet, harmoniously complemented by rose jam accents. It has the power to transform ordinary moments into celebratory ones. Serve it chilled to your guests as you gather for your Christmas party. Very versatile with food, it deliciously complements fruit tarts, cookies, mince pies or truffles – or simply enjoy it on its own for its balanced acidity and pleasant berry aftertaste.

Summing Up

Choosing the right sparkling wine for Christmas is all about choosing the right style. Semi-dry whites are a good option if you prefer a drier, less sweet fizz. The sweet red and rosé are lovely served on their own while chatting before Christmas dinner, while the brut Crisecco will beautifully complement your canapés and starters. Sparkling wine is a festive, celebratory drink that will delight all your guests.
