5 Perfect Popcorn & Wine Pairings
Popcorn is the snack of champions. Not only does every handful come with a satisfying crunch, but it’s insanely versatile. Sweet, salty, buttery, spicy—there are a gazillion ways to enjoy it, each with a perfect wine pairing to make the snack even more enjoyable. Here are five delicious ways to enjoy a glass of Barefoot Wine with the perfect popcorn pairing.
Sea Salt Popcorn & Watermelon Fruitscato
If you’ve ever added a pinch of salt to your fresh watermelon, you’ll understand why this pairing works so well. The sweet watermelon taste will make your popcorn taste even more savory while the wine goes into juicy overtime.
Dill Pickle Popcorn & Cellars Moscato
Love it or hate it, pickle-flavored popcorn is an American staple. And given its intense flavor (we’d describe the taste of dill popcorn as equal parts herbaceous, buttery and savory), we recommend pairing it with the sweet, lightly crisp Moscato to keep your palate fresh.
White Chocolate Drizzle Popcorn & Cranberry Fruitscato
The classic white chocolate cranberry cookie is perhaps the most underrated winter cookie in the history of dessert—and this is essentially the popcorn & wine version of that! Let the creamy white chocolate and buttery popcorn play off the natural cranberry flavor in the wine to give you the perfect snack time tasting experience.
Cheese & Caramel Mix Popcorn & Moscato Spumante
Wait… you haven’t tried mixing your caramel popcorn with the cheddar stuff? The time is now! It’s such a delightful combo that you’ve got to taste it to believe it. Pair with our sweet sparkling Bubbly Moscato Spumante and watch the subtle notes of sweet apricot and juicy peach create a sweet haven for your popcorn-loving tastebuds.
Spicy Cheddar Popcorn & Pink Moscato
If you like your popcorn with a kick to it, you can’t go wrong pairing it with Barefoot Pink Moscato. The subtle notes of red fruit and vibrant finish make this sweet wine a delightful pairing for your spicy snack.
Which of these combos will you try first? Just remember, if you finish your popcorn without throwing and catching at least one piece in your mouth, you’re doing it wrong.
We hope that your winter holidays were completely magical! But let’s be real—after the holiday rush, we’re ready for a quiet night (or week) at home.
Is it just us, or does it feel like we haven’t celebrated the winter holidays in like… a decade? This month has a lot to live up to, and we’re here for it!
