Sparkling Wine

Sparkling wine is a effervescent and celebratory beverage known for its delightful bubbles and ability to add a touch of festivity to any occasion. It is produced through a unique secondary fermentation process that traps carbon dioxide inside the bottle, creating those iconic bubbles that dance upon the palate. Sparkling wines come in various styles, from crisp and dry to sweet and fruity, offering something for every taste and celebration.

History

The history of sparkling wine can be traced back to the early 17th century in the Champagne region of France, where the process of trapping carbon dioxide in the bottle was discovered. Initially, the effervescence was considered a flaw in winemaking, and bottles were known to explode. However, over time, winemakers perfected the technique, leading to the birth of Champagne as we know it today. The term "Champagne" is reserved exclusively for sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region, according to French law. Outside of Champagne, similar wines are referred to as "sparkling wine" or "bubbly."
