Champagne, a word that holds different meanings for people, can evoke images of joyous holidays and festive occasions, or it can trigger feelings of financial stress and uncertainty. For some, it fails to convey the essence of fun and excitement. However, according to Ariel Arce, the owner of Air's Champagne Parlor, Champagne should be a delightful and everyday indulgence. With her decade of experience in selling, drinking, and exploring the world of sparkling wine, Arce has penned "Better with Bubbles," a book that educates, entertains, inspires, and empowers readers to make Champagne and sparkling wine their go-to treat.

Divided into two sections, one dedicated to Champagne, the sparkling wine originating from the Champagne region, and the other covering sparkling wines from around the world, "Better with Bubbles" offers a refreshing departure from dry backstory and tedious tasting notes. Instead, it presents a lively and visual journey through the entire universe of bubbly. The book includes sections that utilize emojis to help readers discover their palate, offer guidance on what to wear (and what not to wear) when visiting a vineyard, and provide an instructive and visually rich guide to creating sparkling soirees, such as a Champagne ping-pong pizza party, a lazy Sunday with bubbly and friends, or a glamorous disco dance.

The sparkling section of the book delves into the dominant sparkling regions globally, including Italy, Spain, and other parts of France. It also highlights exciting newer players, such as Greece, England, the United States, America, Australia, and Japan, who are making their mark in the world of sparkling wine.

Whether you're a seasoned Champagne enthusiast or a newcomer seeking to explore the world of sparkling wine, "Better with Bubbles" is a must-read that will captivate your senses, educate you, and inspire you to embrace the joy and excitement that comes with savoring Champagne and sparkling wine. So, raise a glass, let the bubbles dance, and enjoy the delightful world of bubbly with "Better with Bubbles" by your side.
