Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are great choices for Antipasti. 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 White Star () with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Moet & Chandon White Star ()

White Star is a softer champagne. It is well balanced and harmonious, with subtle aromas of warm toast and gingerbread. The finish is sustained with a hint of honey.
