Champagne and Sparkling Wine Delivery or Pickup

Both Champagne and sparkling wines greet you with the signature pop of a cork, but the bubbles were, in fact, an accidental revelation. The pressure was considered suspicious, and the bubbly wine was sometimes called "the devil's wine" for the explosion of the cork from the bottle. Sparkling wines derive their bubbles from a process that occurs during their second fermentation. 

The name Champagne is exclusively reserved for sparkling wines produced in what's called the "methode champenoise" in the Champagne region of France. Other sparkling wine varietals are made in several other countries throughout the world. 

In addition to France's Champagne, several sparkling wines offer various flavor profiles and even bubble structures and intensities from slightly different production and fermentation processes. Whichever style and flavor fits your needs, Instacart shoppers can have a bottle or case of sparkling wine at your door in as little as 2 hours with same-day delivery! Common types include:

Whether you are popping the cork to mark a celebratory occasion or simply enjoying a sparkling wine cocktail, consider these tips to make your choice a winner. First, check the label to determine a sparkling wine's level of sweetness. The term "doux" is at the sweetest end of the scale, while "brut" and "extra brut" signify a dry bottle of bubbly. In the middle of this range, you will find demi-sec, sec, and extra-sec. 

Many sparkling wines are also available in different tiers, from the classic vineyard entry and reserve (aged) option to the prestige bottle that includes the most esteemed grapes from the vineyard.
