Wedding Color-Themed Sparkling Wines

Weddings are anything goes these days, down to the color of the bubbly for the toast. Pale straw and lightly pink, move over. Look for Instagram-worthy and color-theme friendly shades of yellow, red, white and neon blue. If one of these is the color of your bridesmaid dresses, even better!

Think about your budget here too. Not everyone is a Champagne connoisseur. In the USA it is common for the bridal table to have a different, slightly better bubbly than the rest of the guests, which is okay if it is not conspicuous. here are some sparkling wines suggestions that are all USA $20 and under per 750ml. Save your budget for a honeymoon, or better yet, a down payment on a house.

Yellow lovers, check out the fresh zingy 2016 Villa Maria Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand, $15, full, bold, grassy, peachy and tropical with carbonated fizz and a dry finish.

The nearly red Saraceni Splendia Fragolino Cocktail Aromatizzato Italy is a sweet, light and fresh sparkling strawberry Merlot with notes of ripe strawberry, watermelon, lime and yellow flowers. $20.

Try the Stemmari Baci Vivino Vino Bianco Italy. $13.99, which is on the drier side, medium-bodied, crisp, tart and fizzy with tangerine, lemon pith, peach and ginger notes.

Saraceni’s Blumond Cocktail Aromatizzato from Italy, based on Prosecco grapes, is a brilliant, beautiful sea blue. It is a lightly sweet flavored fizzy with peach, apricot and creamsicle notes and tart zesty lime for balance. $20. This is the hottest wedding wine stateside right now.
