Recommended wine: Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine

Popcorn works really well 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 Ruffino Sparkling rosé ( Split) with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 8 dollars per bottle.
