To celebrate the warm weather, here are 5 suggestions for sparkling wine to savour at your next brunch, as well as recipe ideas that pair perfectly with bubbles.

Published on April 19, 2022

The trees are budding, the snow is a distant memory, the market stalls are filled with delicious local fruits and vegetables... Every year, we wait impatiently for spring to finally arrive!

The return of the warm weather brings with it its share of small pleasures, including spring brunches that we welcome with open arms—whether for special occasions or simply to celebrate the pleasure of getting together! So get your bubbles in the fridge to toast the warmer weather! 

In a mimosa, in a cocktail, or served as is, sparkling wine is your best ally for a successful brunch! Whether it's sparkling wine, prosecco, or cava, here are five suggestions for every taste and every budget.

Hungaria Grande Cuvée Brut

This Hungarian sparkling wine offers excellent value for money and never disappoints! Characterized by a generous mouthfeel and a nice acidity, its bubbles charm with notes of apple and peach. 

Hungaria Grande Cuvée Brut is a perfect match for fish and seafood. It's a good thing the snow crab season is in full swing as these bubbles will pair beautifully with our recipe for crab legs and herb butter—a dish as simple to make as it is delicious to savour.

Hungaria Grande Cuvée Rosé

Fans of sparkling rosé will be delighted with this cuvée full of springtime flavours! Fruity and sweet, this sparkling wine with raspberry flavours will be a welcome addition to your brunch table for all and any celebrations.

We recommend it with smoked salmon blinis or crab cakes. A delicious appetizer for a rose-hued spring brunch!

Mionetto Treviso Prosecco

Head to Italy with Mionetto Treviso's certified vegan prosecco! Very straightforward, this prosecco invites you to celebrate with its generous sparkle and its notes of apple, white flowers and honey. Very versatile, Mionetto Treviso goes well with a wide variety of dishes. 

We suggest an original recipe that will surely charm your guests at brunch time: lobster tacos.

Segura Viudas Reserva Cava

Now, let's bask in the Spanish sunshine with a glass of Segura Viudas Cava Brut in hand. Very fresh, fruity, and low in sugar, this wine goes very well with soft cheeses. To complement the crunch of the grapes and the creaminess of the cheese, try this recipe for mini apple and goat cheese croque-monsieur.

Henkell Trocken

Last but not least: Henkell Trocken. Marked by floral and fruity notes, the delicate and harmonious mouthfeel of this sparkling wine will accompany the airy side of these cheese gougères perfectly.

Charming and practical, Henkell Trocken is also available in a 200 ml format, ideal for an impromptu brunch!
