The sparkling wine also amps up the flavor as it imparts its aroma and flavor to this dish. Your scrambled eggs will absorb this fizzy drink’s fruity, herbal, toasty, and sweet notes, depending on where and how it was produced. Additionally, there is an acidic nature to sparkling wine that cuts through the richness of eggs. This is similar to the role vinegar and lemon juice each play in hollandaise and béarnaise sauces.
That said, if you find that you like the light texture that results from adding either sparkling wine or even Champagne to your scrambled eggs but don’t want the added flavor, seltzer water or even some Topo Chico is your next best option. Both are full of bubbles, a little salty, but without any real flavor for your eggs to absorb. To finish your eggs, you can add salt and pepper, your favorite shredded cheese, or even some chives or other herbs that match your taste bud’s preferences.
