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. The Kir-Yianni Akakies Sparkling rosé with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.

Deep bright rose color. Overabundant bubbles pointing out the wonderful smells of Xinomavro. Excellent pair with Mediterranean cuisine, spicy dishes of the Asian cuisine and oily fishes. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or after a meal.
