Le Grand Courtâge Shares Its Bubbly, Award-winning Creations Perfect for Holiday Celebrations

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 30, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Just in time for the holidays, Le Grand Courtâge, a distinctive, award-winning sparkling wine that offers a French elegance with American appeal, has unveiled new cocktails perfect to ring in the New Year and celebrate with friends and family all holiday long.

The latest cocktail creations were the winners of the recent Chilled Magazine contest sponsored by Le Grand Courtâge, which was designed to highlight the versatility of bubbles from breakfast to dessert. It also leverages the current trend of sparkling wine becoming a key cocktail ingredient, adding the perfect celebratory touch to holiday entertaining.

“The trend of sparkling wine cocktails shows no signs of slowing down,” said Tawyna Falkner, founder of Le Grand Courtâge. “It started with millennials embracing the spritz and has grown from there. Not only are these bubbly cocktails fun to drink but they are often lighter and with less alcohol content, which appeals to a lot of people.”

Le Grand Courtâge sparkling wine has a dry, crisp, yet fruit forward character, which creates a "balanced" wine that works well in a variety of cocktails. As Falkner points out sparkling wine is an extremely versatile cocktail ingredient as the bubbles add a nice textural element with the effervescence, and the acidity offers a great balance point.

“Our price point and palate (91 points) make our French sparkling a fabulous choice for cocktails,” Falkner added. “We think the mixologists and bartenders who won this year’s contest came up with some truly unique creations and are excited to share with consumers and have them try for themselves.”
