Touring the world of Sparkling Wine, the Spanish consider their Cava to be the equivalent of talking with God so it served to everyone at baptisms, including the baby whose pacifier is dipped in the wine. The Italians ask that we consider sharing a ‘split’ of the bubbly for breakfast as it is the perfect size for two and goes so well with orange juice.
