Summer wines: four alternatives to your usual sunny fizz

W hile others opt for rosé, beer or cider, for me a glass of sparkling wine is the perfect summer drink. Our three favourites in this market are Prosecco, Champagne and Cava, from Italy, France and Spain respectively. But they are far from the only sparkling wines. I have featured Crémant , which can offer great value for money, but there are plenty of other options. This week I include one “normal” sparkling wine from Portugal made by the traditional bottle-fermented method alongside three rather different wines.
