Find the Perfect Bubbly for your Wedding Day

If you’re organising your own bubbly for your wedding venue, it can be a daunting task deciding which one to choose from the thousands available.

Going traditional with Champagne is always a reliable option, but if you’re on a budget or want to try something different, there are plenty of other fantastic sparkling wines to suit your needs.

Cava, Crémant and Prosecco are other options at a lower price. Or why not go for an award-winning English sparkling wine?

Try and taste some for yourself, see which you like best – surely your guests will enjoy it too. Many of these wines also serve as great all-rounders.

For the reception

For the start, it’s best to serve something light and fresh. A Blancs de Blancs Champagne or a Prosecco would work well. If it’s Summer time, you could make a fruity sparkling cocktail by simply adding some fruit juice.

For the meal

What you’re going to be eating might alter the style of sparkling wine you choose. Savoury food pairs well with a dry wine (like brut) whereas sweeter food goes better with a sweeter sparkling wine (like sec or demi-sec). If you’re having fish or pasta, you might want to opt for some rosé.
