Food-friendly and diverse, sparkling wines are popping right now,

proving they’re not just for special occasions. The Wine Society

presents classic examples of fine fizz to share with good people.

FRIDAY FEELING

The clock’s ticked past 5pm and your thoughts have moved to the weekend – though

if you’re honest, that happened at least three hours ago. What better way to bring it on

than with bubbles? There are plenty of affordable non-vintage Australian sparklings, so let

The Wine Society help you choose. The Tomich Hill M Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir

NV is a vibrant Adelaide Hills drop that will help put the working week behind you in style.

DINNER PARTY ON

Is the boss/potential life partner/Prince Harry coming to dinner? Then take things up

a notch with a vintage sparkling Australian wine. Made from grapes grown in a single year,

vintage sparklings reflect the unique conditions of each growing season and most are

priced well below non-vintage Champagnes. For a sophisticated, zesty, beautifully crisp

and creamy wine, try the Kreglinger Vintage Brut 2007 from Tasmania.

GREAT OUTDOORS

You’ve got the blanket, basket, prawns, bread, dips and ant-attracting delicacies you

spent hours baking. Now, what’s your picnic missing? A great sparkling rosé, that’s what.

Red wine lends rosés both structure and bold flavours. Add natural acidity and you have

a recipe for versatile food pairing, perfect for picnics and barbecues. Generous and

elegant, Chandon Brut Rosé NV is a classic pinot noir-led Aussie crowd pleaser.
