November Wine of the Month

Champagne and Sparkling Wines

Contrary to popular belief, just because a wine has bubbles and is used for celebrating does not necessarily make it Champagne. The exception is if it is made in Champagne, France. Throughout the world effervescent wines are sparkling wines. Some countries even give it a special name. In Spain it is referred to as Cava and in Italy it is called Asti Spumante.
Grapes typically used in making sparkling wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Chenin Blanc and they come in different styles. For instance, one style is Brut, which is the driest, it is crisp and citric. Spumante is sweet, fruity, and is preferred by many.
Champagne or sparkling wine is very food friendly, so celebrate your day, today.
