From Sparkling Wine to Sake: A Global Tour of Fine Spirits Available at Vino&Vino Armenia

Each bottle at Vino&Vino Armenia has a story to tell: a tale of sun-warmed vineyards, ancient winemaking techniques, and the passionate artistry of winemakers worldwide. As Armenia's number-one graciously appointed fine-spirits emporium, Vino&Vino invites you to embark on an exploration of taste, elegance, and celebration. From sparkling wines for celebration to subtle Japanese sakes for contemplation, we have something that suits every palate. Let us commence this global tasting tour with a pop and an almost imperceptible whisper and dive into some tales behind the finest beverages known to mankind.

Sparkling Wines: Toast to Every Moment

Sparkling wine speaks of celebration, and at Vino&Vino Armenia, we think every day is worth toasting. Our selection begins in France, from the classic Champagne, and moves to the more fun and bubbly Prosecco of Italy, to the Crémants from the Loire Valley and Cava of Spain.

Good sparkling wine really sets beautiful scenery in the air: whether daring to life and death events or merely supporting an evening filled with heartfelt conversation, fine bubbles provide elegance and freshness to the palate in each sip. Brut Champagne is delightful with its dry but complex character and fine mousse contrasted with the bright fruit-forward joy of Italian Prosecco, etching memories for summer soirées. Rosé sparkling wines in the catalog add that splash of color and bright berry notes — best for brunch or backyard celebrations.

Sparkling wine should be paired with salty appetizers, soft cheeses, and seafood for its acidity and bubbles.

Sake: The Art of Japanese Craftsmanship

From the heart of Asia, we are now in Japan, where sake — or nihonshu, as it is called there — remains more than just a drink; it is a cultural ritual with history. Sake is produced from rice, pure water, and the traditional prized koji mold. It is a delicate beverage with deep and diverse expressions.

The Vino&Vino Armenian wine list is an exquisite, specially selected sake list, from Junmai Ginjo to Daiginjo, whose styles differ slightly with rice polishing and fermentation methods to produce aroma and texture variations between the earthy and rich in umami, clean and floral, and light-bodied.

For sake-magic novices, Junmai Ginjo offers fruity elegance and balance. Serve it slightly chilled so the dramatic layers of taste unfold. Sakes usually go well with sushi, but apparently, they really go well with cheeses, grilled meats, and even chocolate!

Cultural explanation: Unlike wine, sake is usually drunk out of small cups and shared between acquaintances, representing hospitality and respect toward each other.

Wine: The Journey Through Terroir

Wine needs no introduction, but at Vino&Vino Armenia, we aim to get you acquainted with bottles that you will never forget. Our international collection ranges from famous old world vineyards of France, Italy, and Spain to daring new world producers of California, Chile, and Australia. And of course, we are proud to stand behind Armenian wines, deeply rooted in winemaking tradition.

Red, white, rosé, orange, or natural — whatever tickles your fancy, we have it here for you. From the sturdy Cabernet Sauvignons to light and tender Pinot Noirs and the ever-crisp Sauvignon Blancs or highly perfumed Gewürztraminer, our shelves speak in favor of global viticulture at its best.

And while at it, let us not forget the native Armenian grapes, Areni and Voskehat, presenting unique profiles fashioned by volcanic soils and high-altitude vineyards. Supporting local winemakers is philosophical to us, and these homegrown masterpieces rank among the best on the planet.
