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 Markus Huber Sparkling rosé with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
Markus Huber Sparkling Rose
Markus Huber Sparkling Rose
Light salmon color with reddish gold play of light, fine, persistet musseux, delicate, fresh and very animating nose, fruit and spice with hints of fresh cherries and forest berries, a sophisticated note of citrus. Dry, fruit-driven yet creamy on the palate, finely woven with elegant acidity and mineral extract, very harmonious structure.
