description Sparkling wine production has changed over time due to ongoing technological developments and market adjustments. This study provides an overview of the historical context, the characteristics of raw materials and base wine, modern technologies and current trends in the sparkling wine market. Important scientific advances with potential for wide-scale applicability are highlighted, such as the investigation of unconventional grape types, the progress of winemaking methods and the effects of compositional changes on quality and sensory characteristics. In addition, the nutritional effects of bioactive components in wine are discussed. Market trends indicate a growing global demand for sparkling wines over time, driven by changing consumer preferences and the diversification of wine-producing areas. Future prospects focus on sustainability, low-alcohol alternatives and the integration of emerging technologies. Combining tradition with innovation, the sparkling wine industry continues to expand, offering new opportunities to both producers and consumers. Research on the quality of sparkling wines in the context of climate change and evolving consumer preferences is still limited and warrants greater attention.
