When it comes to celebrating an occasion, a bottle of bubbly is always in order. Sparkling wine is poured to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and of course New Year’s Eve. It can also be enjoyed for no particular reason other than to pamper yourself and your guests. Here are some interesting facts about sparkling wines that you may not know.<\/p>\n

Colour<\/h2>\n

Sparkling wine can be white, red or ros\u00e9. These wines can be made form any type of grape depending on the region in which they are made. They are usually single-varietal wines or they can be made from a blend of various grapes.<\/p>\n

Sugar<\/h2>\n

The sugar content in sparkling wine varies from dry to sweet. Champagne is on the dry side while Moscato d\u2019Asti is a sweeter variety. For the most part, these wines contain a few grams of sugar in order to balance the high acidity.<\/p>\n

Popular choices<\/h2>\n

Two of the most popular types of sparkling wine are Prosecco and Champagne<\/a>. Champagne can be a varietal wine made from a single type of grape. Examples include pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier. They can also be blended wines made from several permitted grapes. The traditional method is used to make Champagne. This involves a primary alcoholic fermentation followed by a secondary fermentation in the bottle. This is how the bubbles are produced. As for Prosecco, these are always varietal wines made from the glera grape. It is made using the Charmat method in which secondary fermentation occurs in a large closed tank prior to bottling.<\/p>\n

Champagne is known for having a higher price tag than other types of sparkling wine. This is because the process is more involved and the product is more refined. The bubbles in Champagne are notably smaller than those in any other type of sparkling wine. While drinking a glass of bubbly is always satisfying, there is something that much more luxurious about Champagne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
