All New Year's associations are exclusively connected with this drink. For some, a shot with a cork in the ceiling is important, someone adores it for the bubbles, and someone prefers only brut. Yes, we are talking about champagne!
History and production
So what should you buy? The real French from Champagne or the familiar to many "Soviet"? White or red? It is better to choose the golden mean - pink champagne - a worthy decoration for any holiday. When it comes to rosé wines, their reputation is not very good, which cannot be said about rosé champagne. Here everything is exactly the opposite. This drink is included in the wine lists of the most famous restaurants in the world, and some varieties of rosé champagne can shock the buyer with the number on their price tag.
According to the classical technology, only three types of grapes are allowed for the production of pink sparkling wine - from red pinot noir and pinot meunier, from white chardonnay. A beautiful pink shade of the drink is obtained due to a short contact of the skin of red grapes with white wine. It is this very complicated process that requires virtuoso skill and great patience from winemakers.
The category of brut is kept apart in the group of sparkling wines, rightfully considered an unattainable leader. Only brut champagne has received the highest awards and marks at numerous wine exhibitions. There have never been such results in the category of sweet and semi-sweet sparkling wines.
