Sparkling wine

Sparkling wine produces a noticeable stream of bubbles when opened and poured.

How it works

Gas is held under pressure in the sealed bottle. In bottle- or tank-fermentation methods, it forms as yeasts use sugar. These methods differ in where the fermentation takes place.

How to use this when choosing

Sweetness and flavour matter when choosing too. Brut and Extra Dry are different sweetness categories; Extra Dry contains more sugar than Brut.
