Sparkling Wine Gifts

By Megan Krigbaum

"I love to give sparkling wine to party hosts, with explicit instructions to drink it while doing the dishes."

Terrific bottles for sparkling wine gifts.

Sparkling Wine Gifts: Top Bottles

NV Casteller Brut Cava ($10)

A terrific wine to buy by the case for holiday parties, this crisp cava has pretty, sweet citrus peel notes.

2010 Bera Moscato d'Asti ($18)

Shout-outs from rappers like Drake have made sweet Moscato a best-seller in the US. This one, from Piedmont's Asti region, has orange blossom and honeysuckle aromas.

NV Sorelle Bronca Extra Dry Prosecco ($18)

Artisan Prosecco is getting much better thanks to producers like the Bronca sisters, who make this floral bottling with organic grapes.

NV Scharffenberger Brut ($19)

Cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from northern California give this wine spice and bright, appley fruit.

NV Jean Laurent Blanc de Blancs ($52)

This elegant grower Champagne makes a great aperitif, but it's also rich enough to drink through dinner.
