LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2025

Celebration Showstoppers

Rise-to-the-occasion celebrations call for more premium wines with more complex tastes—toasty biscuit, baked apple, citrus zest and more. Mid-priced sparklers can easily be a celebratory treat, providing all the finesse and elegance of the more expensive bottles. Happily, they can also be very food-friendly and versatile to serve at the table.

Party of One Celebrate life’s little victories all on your own! Small-format sparklers are a fun treat for special solo moments, without the commitment of opening a large bottle.
