Hahaha. ✨🥂 Cheers! Yes, I also enjoy sparkling wines - they offer celebratory vibes to everyday moments. And rarely have more than 12.5% abv 🙌 Cheers! ✨🍾😂
German here: You can find excellent sparkling wines, in German "Sekt", in the range of 10-15€. Many grape varietes are used. My personal favorite is Brut Nature (zero residual sugar) Muskateller. It is very fruity and if on the yeast long enough, you still get the champagne style brioche - great as an apperitif. I'd also add MCC to the list. Unfortunately they are quite pricy here in Germany compared to South Africa.
Thank You for Your comment. Germany makes many sparkling wine styles, this time I really wanted to focus on Riesling grape. I talk about Cap Classique in my original video, good call! 🍾🥂 Cheers! 🍾
Super cute. Nice Hair. Stylish and provides nice information. Cristal. Drank the 2008 on New Years Eve. Pricey but the way to go. I think the bubbles are somewhat of a degestivo similar to Perrier.
Great video, again. Corpinnat is a really exciting development. I find Trento-DOC very underrated, and great value. There is also happening a lot, with sparkling wines in Denmark at the moment. The 2 first, to receive the Danish AOP, called BOB (love that abbrevation), are DONS and Skærsøgaard, both sparkling wine producers, and others will soon follow. I expect Brut de Møn to be receiving theirs, as soon as they eligible, they are disgorging their first vintage right now, to be released in the spring.
Thank You for the comment! Yes, I agree with You about the Trento DOC, I should’ve mentioned it. 🫣 wow, I didn’t know about the Danish wines, now I am I interested to find and taste them. Thank You! 🙌🥂🍾 Cheers! ✨
@@NoSediment I think the 5 areas/regions you chose, plus the 5 from the old video, were great examples. I taste (and drink) a lot of sparkling wines. During the warm month in Copenhagen, I meet up with a couple of friends, every Thursday afternoon, to drink bubbles in the sun. Everybody brings a bottle, the first time each year, and last time, it has to be Champagne, besides that, the rules are no Prosecco and no repeats. So we get to taste a lot of bubbles, from May to August. ;)
Thank You for commenting. Carmenere has actually been requested several times. No Torrontes though, but I think that sounds like a good idea for a topic. 😃 Thank You. 🙏🏻
So glad to see Tasmanian sparkling make the list; Arras is amazing (not sure how easy it is to get outside of Australia). Definately keen to try Cremant du Jura!
Okay, thank You for the tip! Unfortunately not very easy to acquire in my region, but if I will have opportunity to order or taste I will definitely try them out. 🙏🏻 Cheers! ✨🍾🥂
Cremant d'Alsace is my go-to from France but Saumur can also be pretty good. English can often push Champagne pretty close but it isn't necessarily much cheaper, even in the UK.
It’s rare to find a Cremant de Jura in Canada, but the d’Alsace options are plentiful enough, and often very affordable. I have found that they aren’t consistently good, often lacking acidity.
I think You are spot on with the observation! 💯 I think it is important to look for a good producer to find a good Cremant d’Alsace. 🤷♀️ Thank You for the comment and cheers! 🍾✨🥂
Maybe one option missing: Valdobbiadene and the better Prosecco. It's a 'secret' version of a trendy bubbly which hardly no one gives credit. Corpinnat is great and fortunately still under the radar. Franciacorta is already too expensive.
@@NoSediment Absolutely! I just ran into this Mongarda metodo classico dosaggio zero and thought it was quite interesting option for all so great champagne. Thanks for your great content!
There was a California champagne by Paul Mason inspired by that same French excellence. It was fermented in the bottle and like the best French champagne it was vintage dated
i am a huge fan of all sparkling wines. Cremant, Sekt, Cava, Prosecco, California Sparkling, give it all to me! 🍾🍾🥂🥂😂

Options for bubbles is always a great topic. Thank you.
Thank You, will keep that in mind when making new videos. :)

I've recently become a fan of Cremant de Bourgogne 🥂🍾. Quality content again and always 👍
Thank You very much for a comment! 🙏🏻 Cheers!🥂
Going with the Parisan look today! Nice choices. I often recommend Vintage Cremant de Limoux as an alternative to Champ…
That is nice of You to notice, I really was going that way. ☺️💯

I just had Ferrari Tento-DOC last night and it was so good.
@@numanuma20 That´s a really great wine, have it at my store, along with Rotari Brut Riserva and Gran Rosé.

Sounds like a lot of fun You are having. And it seems that You know around Your Sparkling wines! 🥂
What about Franciacorta? I love those sparkling wines alot!
I agree! I'll take a Bellavista, Ca Del Bosco or Berlucchi over Prosecco and most Champagnes.
I also have enjoy Franciacorta a lot. 🙌 Great alternative to Champagne! And despite what some people say, great price! 🥂🍾
Glad to see BBF, sad that it has become difficult to source even directly from the estate in Arbois ;)
Thank You! Yes, it has become highly allocated wine though. ☺️🤤
Great video. Do you take requests? Ever consider doing a video on lesser known South American wines like Carmenere or Torrontes? Thanks.
Thank You for commenting. Carmenere has actually been requested several times. No Torrontes though, but I think that sounds like a good idea for a topic. 😃 Thank You. 🙏🏻

Thank You for Your comment! 🙏🏻💥 Yes, Arras is great, but impossible to get here in Latvia. 🥹😉
You should try Brazilian spark wines from Pinto Bandeira region. Much more balanced than Californians. And I live in California!

ESP have great sparkling wines, sometimes on cooler vintages though, acidity is a bit too much for me. Cheers and thank You for commenting! 🥂✨🍾

Try a portuguese sparking wine Cartuxa 2015 spent 7 years in the cellar released in 2022 ( 24 euros )
Maybe one option missing: Valdobbiadene and the better Prosecco. It's a 'secret' version of a trendy bubbly which hardly no one gives credit. Corpinnat is great and fortunately still under the radar. Franciacorta is already too expensive.
Thank You for the comment! 🙏🏻 It was very intentional to exclude Prosecco, as I was focusing on Traditional Method sparkling wines only! 🍾 Cheers! 🍾🥂
@@NoSediment Absolutely! I just ran into this Mongarda metodo classico dosaggio zero and thought it was quite interesting option for all so great champagne. Thanks for your great content!
Wow, impressive, not a lot of traditional method Prosecco out there! ☺️ That must have been amazing experience.
@@NoSediment It's 37 euro here in Finland and certainly a nice option. Though I have to say I prefer Charles Heidsieck over it :D
Ooo, that is a great Champagne!!! 🥂 I will try to find that Prosecco You mentioned though! 🤞
i heard Michael Jackson used to drink Moscato from a diet coke can before he had prosecco, he was onto something.
I have never heard of that. But why not?!? 🤷♀️😂😂😂😂
Ah the French champagne has always been celebrated for its excellence.
🍾🍾🍾🍾
There was a California champagne by Paul Mason inspired by that same French excellence. It was fermented in the bottle and like the best French champagne it was vintage dated
Jura's crémants are sold at criminally low prices compared to their value... which in turn shows how overpriced is champagne.
The one I am having as an example -> Tissot BBF is actually quite pricey. 🫣 But yes, You can get some great examples for a decent price tag. 🥂✨🍾
