ADD SOME RAZZLE DAZZLE TO YOUR SUMMER SOIREES

What makes the perfect glass of fizz? Sometimes it just comes down to the delicious first sip from the moment the bubbles hit the right spot. We’ve popped the corks on some to try...

1. Lidl Organic Prosecco Spumante, Italy (£7.99, Lidl) There’s lots to love about Lidl’s organic bubbly, which debuted last year. It offers the perfect excuse to stock up on a few bottles while you’re marking your calendar for those aperitivo moments. It’s fresh, light and lively. 2. Exquisite Collection Cremant de Jura, France (£7.99, Aldi) A winner with the judging panel at Decanter and the International Wine Challenge, this creamy sparkler made from chardonnay hails from one of the smaller cremant appellations in eastern France. Bright and full of poise, toasty, citrusy aromas lead to ripe green apple and lemon flavours that really capture your attention.

3. Freixenet Sparkling Rose, Italy (£12, Tesco)

A showy, party wine that’s clearly been influenced by top-tier labels shaping the style and quality of some of the bestloved bubbles in the world, leading cava producer Freixenet have released their first Italian sparkling rose that’s delicate pale salmon pink.

4. Sparkling Rose Le Colture Brut NV, Italy (£13.50, Corney & Barrow)

If you want to inspire thoughts of a carefree, al-fresco lifestyle and take your Italian ‘pink’ journey to the next level, this pretty rose fizz has a beguiling opalescence that’s fashioned to be sipped in the sunshine. It’s more aperitivos on the terrace than poolside quaffing.
