Sparkling wine is a type of wine that contains significant levels of carbon dioxide, which creates effervescence, or bubbles, when the bottle is opened.It's essentially fermented grape juice with added carbonation. While often white or rosé, sparkling red wines also exist
Carbonation:
The defining characteristic of sparkling wine is its fizz. This is achieved through the introduction of carbon dioxide, either during a secondary fermentation process or by direct carbonation.
Production Methods:
- Traditional Method (Méthode Champenoise): This involves a secondary fermentation inside the bottle, where yeast consumes sugar and produces carbon dioxide.
- Charmat Method: In this method, secondary fermentation occurs in large, pressurized tanks
