SPARKLING WINE - WINE IN 10

  • This time I am talking about the marriage of CO2 and wine - Sparkling wine can have any color, any degree of sweetness, varies in alcoholic strength, and it comes from every corner of the wine world. What is different about producing sparkling wine is that the CO2 that develops during fermentation becomes an asset rather than waste. So producers have to find ways to trap the CO2 in the liquid. This is also why there is a distinction between lightly sparkling - or fizzy - wines that contain less CO2 and sparkling wines with more CO2. Sparkling wines like Champagne and Cava are generally more expensive than fizzy wines like Frizzante, Petillant, and Perlwein.

    Actually, while many people now use "flutes" to drink sparkling wines, the classic shape in France was for a long time the "coupe" (supposedly modelled on the breast of Marie-Antoinette, but that seems to be a legend). It is not ideal to drink champagne for many reasons, but considering its wide usage, it could have been mentioned.
    Thanks for all your great videos.

    I have really enjoyed the Crémant d’Alsace Rosé from Lucien Albrecht lately. Also tend to have sparkling wine paired with food rather than as a celebration or a pre dinner drink

    I have to say that English sparkling wines have definitely earned a worthy reputation. They are english young wine makers which allows them to be creative and unique.

      I dont drink much sparkling wine, i drink a lot of red and white wine though, and am a winemaker. I studied under a winemaker who learned from one of the legends here in california who is basically the godfather of california syrah and zinfandel. Jeff Cohn
      I have recently started to make sparkling wines this year because i wanted to try something different with some of my white grapes.

    Before I begin, and before anyone tries to bind and gag me, I swear I really have tasted some truly hideous French champagnes that crossed the line from "brut" to "battery acid". It felt like sucking on the lemon from hell. And BTW, I checked, the bottles were sealed before I opened it and not rotted in any way. They were not the cheap stuff, either, and I was drinking this while in France itself. To give an idea, if Dom Perignon actually handed out this stuff all those years ago, any fellow monk he gave it to would start choking and calling for an exorcism to kill the devil's brew.
    I do not care what anybody says, I ♥Cava. I think the flavor is lovely. Not too strong, not to sweet or delicate, but juuust right. I find it goes particularly nicely with a big versatile variety of foods. I think that Spain deserves more attention and encouragement. Technically they have been at it longer than France, and I must say, it is rather impressive that Cava goes nicely with dishes that are spicy or have chili peppers in them (it makes the heat go ZING!) but not out of place at a Christmas dinner.

    Alway enjoy Cremant de Loire and sometimes Limoux, pink prosecco is usually fun fizz, opened a L'Occhiolino red 7.5% Emilia frizzante yesterday, delightful full fruit foodie wine - Dominio de los Duques cava is my favourite, I have many sparkling wine style glasses! I go with mood. I have some vintage brut/rose English sparkling aside for extreme special occasions (my birthday does not count) lol 🤭 Life requires bubbles ☺

    I always wonder about these numbers so how do you call sparkling wine with 2.6 - 2.9 bar pressure?
    My favourite sparkling wine is actually a light sparkling one, Moscato d' Asti to be precise. Moreover I have been really impressed by the "Schatzkammer"-Sekte/Cremants of the Saar-Mosel-Winzersekt in Trier because they have some sparkling wines which matured on their yeast for over 20 years (29 for the oldest I think) an it was definitely awesome to taste something like this.

    • @KonstantinBaumMasterofWine

    I live in Limoux in the Aude region of France. It is now commonly accepted that this is where sparkling wine was invented at the Abbey of St Hilaire. Very good blanquets and cremants are made here and compare very well with top end Champagnes for a fraction of the price. I was in the wine trade for many years so I can comment with some authority.

    How is it that non-vintage wine is so popular with sparkling wine, but virtually irrelevant with still wine? Is this due to historical or production-related reasons?

      Yes. Tradition, processes structure of the industry played a role. There are some NV still wines like Sherry, very cheap table wine and some others too
