Wander + Ivy is popping their own bubbly to celebrate the launch of 'Bubbles', the brand's new sparkling rosé and white wines! The female-founded wine brand, specializing in elevated single-serve packaging, continues to innovate as they launch two new sparkling varietals along with a cutting-edge 2.2 million dollar custom bottling line.

Wander + Ivy's Bubbles continues to uphold the brand's premium standards with added effervescence. Sourced from organic vineyards in the South of France, the sparkling rosé is a light, crisp pour with aromas of raspberries and strawberries.

Each pour contains zero grams of sugar and is crafted with certified organic grapes, making these chic single-serve bottles this summer's go-to drink.

"Sparkling wine is a personal favorite of mine. After years of R&D and investment, I am so proud and excited to break into this market just in time for summer and wedding season.
