Indian sparkling wines are popping up everywhere. From weekend brunches and weddings to casual dinners and gift hampers, Indian sparkling wines can lift any party and every occasion, and for good reason. The
se homegrown bubblies offer an approachable, fruit-forward style that’s easy to enjoy and pairs well with a wide range of foods.
What makes them stand out? For one, their vibrant acidity and crisp freshness. Unlike some heavier, oak-aged wines, Indian sparklings are usually light, refreshing, and loaded with flavors like green apple, pear, tropical fruit, or citrus. They’re great with Indian food, especially spicy or fried dishes, because the bubbles help cleanse the palate between bites.
And with more Indian wineries investing in traditional methods and quality grapes, the overall standard of Indian sparkling wine has never been higher. In short, it’s the right time to discover what’s made right here at home.

5 Quick Tips to Enjoy Sparkling Wine Like a Pro
- Chill it right: Serve between 6°C and 8°C for the best flavour and fizz.
- Use flute glasses: They help preserve the bubbles and concentrate aromas.
- Keep an ice bucket handy: Sparkling wine warms up quickly, dunk it in an ice bucket to keep cool between pours.
- Open gently: Twist the bottle, not the cork. Aim for a soft pop, not a cannon shot.
- Finish within a day: Once opened, sparkling wine loses its fizz fast; enjoy it fresh.
