The sparkling wine market is projected to reach US$ 55.80 billion by 2028 from 41.64 billion in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2021 to 2028.

Sparkling wine is a variant of wine with a high carbon dioxide content, which adds additional bubbling to it. Champagne is one of the most widely popular types of sparkling wine. It is the wine manufactured in the Champagne region in France; however, many sparkling winemakers in the US use this name for their locally manufactured products.

Based on type, the global sparkling wine market is segmented into white, red, and rose. The white segment led the market in 2020. White wine is made from Moscato Bianco grapes from the Piedmont wine region in Italy. Its production is primarily concentrated in Alba and the province of Asti in Northern Italy. The bubbles are caused by natural fermentation, which might occur in the bottle or a big tank. Fermentation occurs when sugar is added to wine and yeast acts on the sugar, generating carbon dioxide. Bubbles are formed in the wine as a result of the trapped carbon dioxide inside an enclosed environment.

In 2020, Europe accounted for the largest share of the sparkling wine market. The European Union (EU) has the largest concentration of sparkling wine producers. According to the Institute of Wine and Vine, the EU accounts for 70-80% share, by volume, of the global manufacturing of sparkling wine since 2000. According to industry experts, Europe exports greater volume of sparkling wine than still wine in the international markets. The region has a long and illustrious history of winemaking. Wine lovers across the world prefer European sparkling wine owing to their unique flavors, tastes, and preparation methods. Moreover, increasing preference for less alcoholic beverages, growing influence of celebrities on the lifestyles of people, inclination toward convenience food and beverages, and the tradition of popping a bottle of Champagne or sparkling wine during festivities and celebrations, among others, justify the dramatic increase in demand for this category of wine.
