A snapshot of sparkling wine in Canada.
Our 2025-26 Sparkling Report includes 115+ wines, not including Champagne (Our Champagne Annual is here). Certainly the lack of American bottles on shelves and lists have encouraged Canadians to drink elsewhere, and we’ve 7 different countries represented, with a couple of dozen regions and sub-regions noted. As expected, the largest representation comes from Canada, as our Elbow’s Up homegrown pride has bubbled to the fore. You can read Anthony’s take on the Sparkling category at the 2025 National Wine Awards of Canada here (*spoiler, it was our largest number of sparkling entries ever).
Regardless the origin, the category’s quality is high, though diversity is even higher with everything from pét-nats through extended lees-aging traditional method wines. The most important takeaway, however, is that sparkling wines are for every day, and shouldn’t be reserved solely for festivities. In this report, prices start at $12.99 for 750mL and go up from there. Be adventuresome, remember the food-friendliness of most fizz, and add some sparkle to your life.
