A staple of celebratory moments large and small, sparkling wine is often associated with luxury and extravagance. Yet bubbly has much more to offer than the pop of a cork and the clink of glasses for a toast. Encompassing an array of styles from regions all over the world, sparkling wine is suitable for any occasion, and though some versions are certainly on the pricier side, it’s worth underlining that many examples also represent great value. Get all of Wine Spectator’s top recommendations, from sparkling whites, reds and rosés at great values to prestigious cuveés of NV and vintage bubblies for discerning collectors here!
