Types of Sparkling Wines

Whether it’s a celebration or you’re just simply celebrating life, sparkling wine is one way to reward yourself for just about anything! Here are some different types of sparkling wines.

Before we go any further, I want to address one thing. All sparkling wine is NOT Champagne. Champagne is in a whole world of its own. Mainly because it’s made in the Champagne region in France. However that doesn’t mean you can celebrate and enjoy other sparkling wines.

So, here is a list of sparkling wines and what regions they are made.

1. Champagne (France)

2. Prosecco (Italy)

3. Cava (Spain)

4. Trentodoc (Italy)

5. Cremant (France)

6. Sekt (Germany)

7. Cap Classique (South Africa)

If you have any others, please let us know!

I haven’t tried a cigar in YEARS! I realized I didn’t smoke them often because I didn’t know how to smoke them. Now I’m starting to get more interested in them, so I went to a local lounge and decided to give it another try. I went to small lounge on Melrose, and it was a great experience! I went right after I got off work, so I caught them during their last 45 minutes. However, the attendant was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to recommend for a novice like me. He recommended the Tatascan. I don’t really have that much cigar knowledge but this was a very mild, quick and flavorful smoke. It lasted until closing time and I was honestly very relaxed once I was done. I will definitely go back and experience more cigars soon!

Wine in 2024

So 2023 had so much going on in the industry. Sales globally took a hit. However there’s still some good things to look forward to in 2024.

1. The importance of sustainability in the wine industry is the first trend to look out for. Regenerative Agriculture is all about improving the wine making process and making it easier on the environment.

2. Labor solutions is another if not probably the most important trend. Ensuring livable wages and fair working conditions for those in the industry is something that the industry is taking seriously.

3. Co- Fermentation will start to pick up. I think this is a good move for the industry, especially if they want to attract more of a younger crowd. More natural wines are starting to become popular among young drinkers and it could also be a great solution to the climate challenges. Low alcohol/ no alcohol wines are on the rise as well.

4. Smaller wine regions are starting to get more exposure. Regions like Turkey, Armenia, and Greece are catching the attention of wine lovers from all over the world.

5. Wine cocktails will make its mark in the industry, especially with the younger crowd. It’s different and fun. It’s also a great opportunity to for wine makers and vineyards to produce and sell their own wine cocktails.

Be on the look out for all these trends and tell us what other trends are on the rise!

So, Dry January… I’ve never heard of it. Let’s talk about it! From what I’m reading Dry January is when you cut out alcohol for the month. I honestly feel like it’s a great time to reset the body, especially if you’re a a heavy wine drinker like me. However, this is also an opportunity to explore some great non alcoholic wines and mocktails. Do you guys have any non alcoholic wines that are worth trying? Let me know! Cheers 🥂
