Sparkling wine OnlineBuying the right sparkling wine isn't difficult.Most people will enjoy a glass of two of sparkling wine - some are fanatical and find out everything they can about champagne and other sparkling drinks. Which ever sort of fizz drinker you are we hope you'll enjoy some of the bottles listed below. And remember always drink sensibly!
Hints on picking a good sparkling wine:Champagne also has different degrees of sweetness. Brut
on a label you’ll be buying dry champagne with little sugar. Chardonnay gives champagne its fruity flavour. Blanc de Blancs made with 100% chardonnay is suitable as an aperitif wine. Pinot Noir gives champagne its body and this can be served with a main
course Champagne?Blending and the second fermentation are the hallmarks of champagne.
Three grape varieties are used, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay Chill Sparkling Wine:It is better chilled! 1/2 hour in refrigerator - top milk shelf is the coldest spot - 15 minutes in ice bucket with ice and water (or in freezer) - prepare enough ice in advance or buy it in! Most supermarkets sell ice cubes these days. 10 minutes in ice bucket with ice, water and salt (salt makes ice melt faster, making it colder) Temperature and Opening:
Open chilled bottle carefully pointing the cork away from your and others. Sparkling wine glasses do not need to be chilled - the wine does. Sparkling wine can be stored upright. The pressure in the bottle creates a hundred % humidity in the head space and keeps the cork moist. Sparkling wine of fine quality, such as Domaine Carneros, is ready to drink when you are, but it can be aged for years (10 or more) in a cave like place. The character of the wine will change picking up more toast and caramel notes. A bottle of sparkling wine will serve 2 for dinner or 4 to 6 before dinner. There are six glasses in a bottle. Restop a bottle and it can keep in the refrigerator in good condition for 3 or 4 days.
