deep dive into some of those wines that always bring us together around the dinner table to celebrate and raise a toast at Christmas time. Although we pop the corks on bottles of all kinds of wine at this time of the year, we do still tend to celebrate with bubbles! And fortunately sparkling wines also pair perfectly with food. Their natural carbon dioxide, often created by the second fermentation in the bottle, cleans and refreshes the palote, whatever the dish you are tucking in to, always creating a pairing of contrasts. This is why sparkling wines are perfect for serving at lunches and dinners throughout the festive season. They can be paired with all types of starters, fish, seafood
