English Sparkling arguably came before Champagne, with Christopher Merret demonstrating to the Royal Society how to add fizz to wine some 30 years before the monk Dom Pérignon reported "tasting the stars". But it's in the last decade that quality has rocketed and so have sales. Barbara Laithwaite's Wyfold and the Robert's family's South Ridge sparkling wines are top tips, worthy of any special occasion.
