Recommended wine: Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine

Sparkling rosé and Sparkling Wine are my top picks for Popcorn. 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. One wine you could try is Santa Margherita Sparkling rosé ( half-bottle). It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.
