There is R.W. Knudsen, but I don't see their sparkling cider as much I used to in the past, since Martinelli's is a strong brand here.

What kind of fancy meal does grape juice go with?

Italian food, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter dinners. I don't drink alcohol, so this is the best wine substitute. I like the Sparking Rosé with some chicken parmigiana with pink sauce.

We're big Martinelli's fans here. Been drinking it on special occasions for 30 years. Have also tried the Knudson and don't care for it as much. Can't quite place it, but the taste isn't as bright. We do like the Welch's Rose, but also found the sparkling grape to be too sweet.

It seems Americans only drink colas and lemon sodas. Where as in Latin and Asia there are so many different flavored sodas. I don't think Americans would ever drink Apple or Melon flavor sodas while it is such a big thing in Asia.
Oh, nonsense. Americans drink ginger ale, root beer, Dr. Pepper, and other regional flavored sodas, including orange soda. And there are many fruit flavored sparkling waters to choose from as well.

As well as grape, black cherry, and cherry to name a few. However, in my local Hispanic supermarket, there are all kinds of flavors that I don't normally see in the regular supermarkets, including guava, pineapple, mango, and probably a few others that I can't think of right now.

Yes, but Americans drink birch beer, celery soda, and Moxie.

Instead of a sugary-soda pop like sparkling cider there are in fact alcohol-free wines which are a bit more sophisticated and more appropriate for food pairing. Check out Sutter Home's Fre and Ariel.

The Welch's Sparkling Rosé is fairly low in sugar. and is very refreshing. The Red and White are like liquid candy.
