FAQ
1. What is the difference between Champagne and other sparkling wine?
Champagne comes only from the Champagne region of France and is made by second fermentation in bottle. English sparkling, Franciacorta and Crémant use the same method elsewhere; Prosecco is usually made in tank, for a lighter, fruitier style.
2. How should sparkling wine be served?
Well chilled, at 6–8°C, in a tulip-shaped glass that keeps the bubbles and lets the aroma through. Vintage and prestige cuvées show more at 9–10°C.
3. Is sparkling wine only for celebrations?
Not at all. The acidity and bubbles make it an excellent match for oysters, fried food, sushi and salty snacks, so it earns a place at an ordinary dinner too.
