Officially known as popping corn, casually called popcorn among friends, it's the undisputed king of movie nights. The aroma of popcorn alone gets your taste buds wildly applauding and your mind wandering to the couch for a movie marathon. Did you know that popcorn contains very little fat but plenty of fiber and has been one of humanity's favorite snacks for over 5,000 years?
What to Drink with Popcorn?
The best drinks to pair with popcorn are slightly sweet and often sparkling. The sweetness in the drink beautifully balances the saltiness of the popcorn. Popcorn also pairs excellently with the classic cocktail ArtSpritz. This drink combines ArtSpritz liqueur flavored with orange, vanilla, and rhubarb, among other things, with quality prosecco Tosti Prosecco Extra Dry.
For those with a slightly sweeter palate, there's Tosti Asti. Its sister wine is gentler in flavor and alcohol content, which makes Tosti Butterfly a great choice, especially when you don't necessarily know the preferences of your fellow couch potatoes yet.
For some, brut is the thing. And Pares Balta Brut b hits the spot perfectly. Whether you prefer sweet or dry wine with your popcorn, here are the basic tips! Chill the drink, pop the popcorn in the microwave, and start the movie.
ArtSpritz
ArtSpritz is versatile: not only in cocktails and bowls, it works just as well on its own or with ice, 'on the rocks'. An easy and refreshing aperitif comes together quickly with ArtSpritz and Tosti Prosecco. See the recipe here!
P.S. This drink is also suitable for vegans, as both ArtSpritz and Tosti Prosecco are vegan products.
Tosti Asti
For sweet wine lovers, Tosti Asti is a wonderful social drink, and its low alcohol content makes it a suitable toasting wine for larger gatherings too. It's a popular wine, it pleases many, it's easy to approach, it's reasonably priced, and it pairs just as well with cream cake as it does with salty cheese. Traditions don't come from nowhere.

Tosti Butterfly
Under the shelter of the butterfly's wings, you'll find a gentle social wine whose low alcohol content is even half that of many wines. A wonderful wine also for salads with a salty component, like feta or even roasted bacon. Spicy food also finds a wine partner in this one, which, being slightly sweet, balances the heat of the dish.
