Don’t stop toasting New Year’s at the stroke of midnight December 31. If you plan January right, you could celebrate straight through Chinese New Year in February. To do this, you’ll need to stock up on sparkling wine and Champagne. Mimosas and Bellinis with Sunday brunch? Yes, please. To achieve this constant state of celebration, though, you’ll also need to throw out your preconceived notions that Champagne is more of an aperitif or after-dinner drink than something you can sip with everyday meals. Sparkling wine is a natural match with crisp green salads, seafood, and even spicy Thai and Tex-Mex. Hearty pink sparklings and Blanc de Noirs (white from red grapes) can even be paired with rich chicken and pork dishes. So drink more bubbly with friends and family. That’s one resolution you might actually keep.

 | Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs, Calistoga, California ($37) Made in the Méthode Champenoise style, the Blanc de Noirs stands as a shining example of California sparklings.

 | Yellowglen Pink, South Eastern Australia ($9.99) & Yellowglen Yellow, South Eastern Australia ($9.99) The price is right for the Aussie imports.
