Wine is the easiest way to please a dinner party, but it can be easy to fatigue on the standard red vs white options. Enter Lambrusco, the fruity sparkling red wine from Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. 

While Lambruscos come in a wide range that can include peachy-hued rosés to dark-pink rosatos, the category is best known for its rich, plush reds. It also makes for a great go-to dinner party wine for a few reasons: it pairs well with everything from cheeseburgers to a spicy tuna roll, it’s lower in alcohol compared to other reds making it great for sipping all evening long, and they are a total bargain.
