The Best Wines For Champagne Fountains

Sparkling wine for celebrations.


The best wines for champagne fountains will be sparkling varieties that are not actually considered "champagne," since authentic champagnes are produced in the Champagne wine region of France and are usually priced high. Sparkling wines are made at vineyards all over the world, and since it may take about 15 bottles of champagne to fill a fountain, you may want to look for the more affordable options.








Clover Hill


The Clover Hill vineyards are in northeast Tasmania in the Pipers River Region, and are a specialized sparkling wine estate. It is commonly considered one of Australia's best sparkling wines, and holds pear, apple and but flavors along a creamy expressive texture.


Poema


The Poema Cava Brut from the Penedes region in northeastern Spain. The wine is known for it fruity and balanced flavors of peachy fruit and toasted bread. Cava, Spain's traditional sparking wine, is also known for its affordability. The wine is dry with a crisp finish.


Blanc de Bleu


Blanc de Bleu is a brut sparkling wine from Northern California. It's a chardonnay grape with light blueberry fruit flavor, which creates a unique color that is a slight shade of pastel blue. The decorative presentation of the wine makes it a good pick for a champagne fountain.
