Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Antipasti 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. One wine you could try is Viva Diva Moscato Prosecco. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 22 dollars.
