"Bricco Qualia Moscato d'Asti"
With a relatively low alcohol content of 4.5%, it's recommended for those who don't drink much wine or are wine beginners.
It's sweet, but the balance with the acidity is exquisite.
The slight effervescence is pleasant, making this a refreshing, lightly sparkling wine perfect for hot days.
This is perfect as a snack!
Chill it thoroughly in Refrigerator and enjoy it after a meal or after a bath with some fresh strawberries (the last of the season) or vanilla ice cream.
"Duc de Montagne Rosé"
Made using almost the same process as regular sparkling wine, this non-alcoholic sparkling wine achieves a remarkably refined taste, thanks to a unique de-alcoholization process that minimizes the addition of flavorings and juices, making it hard to believe it's non-alcoholic.
This product is safe for those who plan to drive, as well as pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.
This is perfect as a snack!
"Le Haut-Médoc de Giscours"
This wine features a high proportion of Merlot, a red wine grape variety from the Bordeaux region of France, resulting in a well-balanced blend of fruitiness and tannins.
This wine is made by the winemaking team of Château Giscours, a 3rd Growth in the prestigious Médoc classification system of France, which has been in place since 1855. They use grapes harvested from vineyards in the Haut-Médoc region adjacent to the village of Margaux and employ the same winemaking methods.
This is perfect as a snack!
For wines with a strong sweetness and deep richness, a good pairing would be braised pork belly or hamburgers in home cooking, or dark chocolate as a casual snack.
You can enjoy it for a long time, from the main course to dessert.
