Sparkling Wine

Hello wine friends and welcome back to House Wine! 

This week we are going to look at Sparkling Wine, the styles of sparkling wine and how it gets made. Yes, we even touch on if you can put still wine in your Soda Stream. We also go into a brief history about the early days of Champagne and everyone's favorite Monk: Dom Perignon. 

The five main processes of making wine sparkle are broken down and we talk about which countries and which wines are using which. 

Of course as source material I use: 

The Oxford Companion to Wine, 4th Edition by Jancis Robinson
and 
Champagne, by Peter Liem

I reference in passing a few wines but don't go into a great amount of detail but if you would like to reference what they are, it is:

I also briefly mention Spumante Bambino, which has no website. Trust me, you don't want it anyways!
