Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Angel Food Cake can be paired with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. A light and crisp sparkling rosé complements fluffy angel food cake - even more so if you're serving it with strawberries. Of course a sweet sparkling white wine will work too. The Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Brut (3 Liter Bottle - Jeroboam) with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 400 dollars per bottle.

Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Brut (3 Liter Bottle - Jeroboam)

The wine comes from the purest grape juice and it alone allows Laurent-Perrier to craft 'La Cuvée', a champagne of great finesse and a beautiful freshness obtained after a long ageing process in our cellars.Pale gold in color. Fine bubbles feed a persistent mousse. A delicate nose with hints of fresh citrus and white flowers. The wine’s complexity is expressed in successive notes like vine peach and white fruits notes. A perfect balance between freshness and delicacy with fruity flavors very present on the finish.This fresh and pure wine is perfect for an apéritif. Its citrus and white fruits notes and its remarkable balance supported by a subtle effervescence, make it an ideal accompaniment to poultry and the finest fish.
