Champagne, Cremant, Cava, and Prosecco: Sparkling Wine Label Clues

Fri, 29 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Sparkling wine is often treated as a mood before it is treated as a wine. The bottle appears when something is being celebrated, the cork makes a sound, and the glass fills with bubbles before anyone has asked what those bubbles mean. That is pleasant, but it leaves a lot of useful information on the label. Sparkling wine can be lean or creamy, dry or gently sweet, simple or layered, citrusy or biscuit-like, made for aperitif drinking or strong enough for dinner.
