Txakoli is a slightly sparkling, very dry, high-acid white wine from the Basque Country, usually poured into tall glasses from a height, often with pintxos.

Wikipedia says txakoli has three certified varieties: Getariako Txakolina, the first to gain its denomination of origin in 1989, Bizkaiko Txakolina in 1994 and Arabako Txakolina in 2001. Its Bilbao entry says Bizkaiko Txakolina is the one usually served in Bilbao. Until the 1980s txakoli was mostly a home-made wine. Sorginzulo's website lists a fresh txakoli among its drinks, and Berton's wine list names txakolis from Lezama and Getaria.
