Recommended wine: Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine

Popcorn on the menu? Try pairing with Sparkling rosé and Sparkling Wine. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Conundrum Sparkling rosé with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

A luminous rose gold hue with warming peach undertones, this wine opens with bright scents of strawberry, barely ripe peach, fresh wildflowers and hard candy. Its flavors mirror its aromas, with additional notes of watermelon and a hint of banana. Entry features a pop of vibrant acidity, which evolves into a soft roundness. The taste of guava and mango add a tropical twist to the long, enticing finish.
