How to Choose Champagne

How to Choose Champagne

December 7, 2016 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

Champagne specifically refers to sparkling wine made in the region of Champagne, France. The sweetness in Champagne is unlike sweetness in wine because this sweetness comes in the form of a sweetened dosage that’s added to the wine at the end of its second fermentation . The average Champagne dosage is usually around 6 10 g/L which adds body to the Champagne although, coupled with the high acidity level, it will taste dry or even bone dry.

Key Takeaways:

  • Champagne specifically refers to sparkling wine made in the region of Champagne, France.
  • The reason there is a dosage in Champagne is because the acidity is usually soo high, the wine would otherwise be undrinkable.
  • One of the least talked about and most important factors that plays into the taste of Champagne is how long it’s aged.

“If you are a fan of sparkling wine, Champagne is the benchmark of quality and well worth a taste.”
