From Sweden's Coast to a Tuscan Table: The Strandåkra Vingård Sparkling Wine Story
Some of the best wine stories begin not in vineyards , but between friends .

When she stepped off the train, her bag held an exciting surprise: a couple of bottles of sparkling wine from a tiny southern Swedish winery she had recently visited and brought back to Italy.
