Sparkling wine! Join Keith and Alana from the National Wine School –the fastest-growing sommelier school in the USA– as they discuss a recent wine-tasting class on sparkling wine!
Alana taught this wine-tasting class on bubbles — it’s the “every great bubbly EXCEPT for Champagne” class that is a classic class at the Wine School. From Prosecco to Cava to the wide variety of French Crémant, this class highlights all the sparkling wines you should be trying today!
There are three major types of bubbles. There is the Charmat method, the cheaper method in which bubbles are injected into the wine. There is the Ancient method in which the wine continues to ferment in the bottle, creating carbonation naturally. The final method is the traditional method, which is the gold standard for crafting sparkling wines.
