Popcorn works really well with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. 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 Moet & Chandon Imperial (3 Liter Bottle - Jeroboam) with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 600 dollars per bottle.

Moet & Chandon Imperial (3 Liter Bottle - Jeroboam)

The color is an elegant golden straw yellow with amber highlights.Its aromas are radiant, revealing bright yellow-fleshed fruits (apple, pear, yellow peach), honey, floral nuances (lime blossom) and elegant blond notes (brioche and fresh nuts).The palate is seductive, richly flavorful and smooth combining generosity and subtlety, fullness and vigor, followed by a delicately fresh crispiness (fruit with seeds), to reveal the magical balance of champagne.
