Flowers and Sparkling Wine

Flowers and Sparkling Wine are two gifts that would be welcomed by most throughout the year, but how many of you have noticed the floral characters that a Sparkling Wine can deliver, with an aroma like you’ve just walked into a florist and flavours like you’ve just tasted the Irises or Sunflowers from Vincent van Gogh’s paintings, the world of Flowers and Sparkling Wine can easily be both enjoyed as one.

The Glass of Bubbly 2023 Awards brought to light some fantastic Spring Fling Sparkling Wines, with the Trophy being taken home by a Slovenian Sparkling Wine Producer, Zidanca Slovenec – Penina Slovenec.

The Spring Fling category was created to highlight to the consumer that the Sparkling Wines in this character display those amazing floral and blossom characters.
