Champagne and celebrations are a perfect match but there is a whole world of sparkling wines that are just as festive. Glamorous and refreshing, there is something about bubbles dancing around a wine glass that puts smiles on faces. With New Year's Eve just around the corner, here are a few sparkling wines that are perfect for toasting the new year!

Pol Roger Brut Reserve White Foil NV (Non Vintage)
$50
For the traditionalist who insists on champagne, Pol Roger is an excellent choice. How good is it? Well, Pol Roger Brut Reserve NV was served at Prince William and Duchess Kate's 2011 wedding reception. Founded in 1849, Pol Roger is one of a few Grande Marque Champagne Houses that remains family owned and operated. An equal blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes; Pol Roger Brut Reserve NV is absolutely delicious. Pale gold in color, it is a balanced composition of fruit and citrus notes with bready aromas of brioche.



Maison J.J. Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne (NV)
$22.99
Hailing from the Burgundy region of France, this 100% chardonnay bubbly is produced using the methode traditionnelle and corresponds to the method of producing champagne. Dry with fine bubbles, it is crisp and fruity. Truly, a lovely sparkling wine at a great price.

Lamberti Prosecco Veneto D.O.C. (NV)
$13.99
Prosecco from Italy remains one of the most delicious and affordable sparkling wines on the market. Established in 1964, the House of Lamberti crafts New Italian Classics from the vineyards on Veneto in Northern Italy. The sweet and clean taste make Lamberti Prosecco a very approachable wine that will appeal to even the pickiest wine snob.




Trapiche Extra Brut Sparkling NV
$15.99
Hailing from Argentina, Trapiche Extra Brut Sparkling NV is one of my favorites. Made from a blend of 70% Chardonnay, 20% Semillon, and 10% Malbec, this bubbly has very appealing flavors of apple, pear, melon and citrus. Established in 1883, Trapiche is the world's leading producer of wines from Argentina.
