About Sparkling wine
Sparkling wine is a type of fermented alcoholic beverage characterized by its effervescence due to carbon dioxide. Originating primarily from regions like Champagne in France, Prosecco from Italy, and Cava from Spain, it has become a global symbol of celebration. Typically made from a blend of grapes like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, or Glera, it undergoes a secondary fermentation process to produce bubbles. Nutritionally, an average 5-ounce (150 ml) serving contains about 120 calories, 3-4g of carbohydrates, and negligible protein or fat. Its alcohol content varies between 11-13% by volume, contributing to its caloric load. While low in nutrients, it provides trace amounts of potassium and iron due to grape content.
Health Benefits
- May promote cardiovascular health due to moderate alcohol consumption, which is linked to increased 'good' HDL cholesterol levels.
- Contains antioxidants like polyphenols from grapes, which may help combat oxidative stress when consumed in moderation.
- Low in carbohydrates compared to some alcoholic beverages (3-4g per serving), making it a relatively lighter choice.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store bottles horizontally in a cool, dark place, ideally at 45-55°F (7-13°C). Opened bottles should be sealed with a champagne stopper and refrigerated for up to 3 days.

How does sparkling wine compare to still wine in terms of calories and alcohol content?
