Sparkling Wine

Sparkling Wine is one of the thrilling innovations in wine making. This has significant levels of carbon dioxide that makes it fizzy and very bubbly. The carbon dioxide is a result of natural fermentation process, whether in the bottle or in a large tank.

The color is typically white or rose hued. Examples of such red sparkling wines are Italian Brachetto and Australian sparkling Shiraz. In other countries, sparkling wines are equated to champagnes.

The initial burst of bubble or otherwise known as effervescence happens when the champagne comes in contact with the dry glass. The bubbles are great to look at and very entertaining. The frothiness or mousse depends on the quality of the sparkler and type of glass used.

An average bottle of Champagne contains enough Carbon Dioxide to produce 49 million of bubbles. This is a nice interesting wine trivia to come across. The amount sugar of added on the second fermentation and aging affects the level of sweetness of the sparkling wine.
