Then I smiled. Yes, he\u2019s absolutely right. A well-made Sparkling wine\/Champagne is cleansing and pairs well with any food. It\u2019s also great by itself.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend\u2019s sparkling wine was Christalino Brut Cava produced in Spain. It had 11.5 percent alcohol. It\u2019s dry, citrus style paired perfectly with the spicy, white fish we barbecued outside.<\/p>\n<p>The next time you choose a wine, why not go for a bottle of sparkling or Champagne?<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!
