Cheers, you honestly earned it (Photo: Giphy)

It is difficult to exaggerate the description of the pleasure inherent in tasting the traditional bubbly, in preparation for the New Year's parties.

It's not really cold though and for a New Year's Eve atmosphere you have to imagine a little, still, bubbles are good, in any weather.

series, I have tasted countless sparkling wines on the occasion of the current seria.

The list gathered the best, from various categories, for drinkers of all types - beginners to experienced, and of course for every pocket.

Here are the best unpretentious base wines;

Nice plays from France and Spain in the category "Excess from a hundred";

Two base champagnes and a great "Vobra" in the "Over 200" category and a hearty Psagot air in the top category, which includes two local representatives (Golan Ramat Winery and Dalton) and other great champagnes, for those who want and can.

There's no way you'll finish this tasting without scoring a bottle or two suited to taste and budget.

Happy new year!

Perlino, Asti (NIS 50)

sweet sparkling, based on Canelli Muscat, from Asti in Piedmont, Italy.

Very light, aperitif and in the same breath can also accompany desserts.

Fruity and honey Prosecco that is balanced with not bad acidity at all.

A wine that is usually sipped as an aperitivo, but will also do the job at a budget-conscious New Year's party.

Basic and organic pink cava, with a bottle designed from a Gaudi work, very little pretentious but with surprising dryness and richness factors relative to the modest pricing.

pink prosecco, delicate, with a light and pleasant sweetness and balancing acidity, also delicate.

A cute wine of the kind that Bonos also makes kosher.

For the benefit of the relevant population from among those celebrating the new civil year.

Ramat Golan, Gamla, Brut NV (NIS 75)

The "Cremo" category is one of the most beloved in the world of sparkling wines. At their best, "Cremo" wines provide a lot of quality at a third and less than the prices of banal champagnes.

It is based on 60% Chardonnay and the rest Chenin Blanc and Moissan Blanc. The vinification is in the traditional method (similar to Champagne wines), it stays for a year on the lees and its complexity surprises every time.

Dalton, Brut NV (NIS 220)

the tall and invested sparkling of Dalton Winery based on pinot gris grapes from the Galilee, mostly from the 2017 vintage plus a little from the 2016 vintage. The vinification is done in the traditional method and the result is clearly elegant.

Green fruit with a lot of presence, richness not too compressed, nutty, with a gentle bubble and a long finish.

This is a special edition of 1,000 bottles that is Dalton's statement of intent in the sparkling field.

Decent wine.

Roinart is the first champagne house in France, which is very popular.

The current champagne is based on 45% pinot noir, 40% chardonnay and the rest pinot monnier, from different vintages, which together went through 3 years aging in the bottle.

White fruit, nuttiness and an unequivocal accessibility promoter.

Champagne that will speak to everyone.

The mainstream heart of the genre.

The Golan Heights Winery is the unequivocal winner in the local wine industry when it comes to sparkling wines.

Wines from eight different vintages spanning between 1990 and 2014, from which the best quality liquids were selected, from the initial pressing.

Double aging: two years in large tanks and three more in the bottle.

Complex, multi-nuanced, deep, refined, wonderfully dry and really great.

For experienced drinkers.

"Varoda" is truly exceptional in that 85% of its grapes come from Premium Cru and Grand Cru vineyards, from two vineyards in the village of Varaznai.

Over three years of refinement in a bottle stunning aromas of champagne-style pinot noir, really elegant, dry, precise and sharp.
