Champers, darlingI only drink Champagne when I’m happy, and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it when I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless I’m thirsty Mme Lily Bollinger

Not all bubbles are created equalOur quick pop guide to Sparkling from some of the sofizzticated crew at BWS.

Just because it’s French and bubbly doesn’t make it Champagne. The most famous of all Sparkling wines, ‘Champagne’ is used by many people to describe any wine with bubbles. This slip of the tongue offends the French so much that they’ll throw a croissant at you. And you know how much they love their croissants.

ChampagneYou can only call it Champagne if, firstly, the grapes and wine are from the Champagne region. Only particular grape varietals can be used, the majority being made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. The wine must be fermented twice, the second fermentation in the bottle. It’s during this process that the magic happens, naturally creating the bubbles and giving Champagne its distinct toasted and biscuity flavour notes.

CavaCava is the Spanish equivalent to Champagne. It uses the exact same process as the French version. The Spanish being, shall we say, a little more chilled than the French, allow it to be produced anywhere in Spain. Cava is a little more fruity, not quite as crisp, less ‘toasty’ in flavour than Champagne.

CrémantThis French drop is Champagne’s lesser-known cousin. Also bottle-fermented, it uses the same traditional Champagne method. Crémant Sparkling wines are usually more fruity and citrus in flavour. You can find a few Crémants with some of those toasty flavours, but it’s rare.

ProseccoThis is Italy’s primo popping gift to Sparkling wine. Unlike Champagne, it’s made with the Glera grape and almost always produced using a tank, so has none of those typical Champagne flavours we keep mentioning. If we said toasty one more time, you’d probably get the Vegemite out of the cupboard. It’s pretty popular around the world, and you’ll hear its name dropped more than once when talking Sparkling. That could be because of the Pros-ecco, echo, echo, echo.

Sparkling RoséHow do you think it’s made pink? Have a guess. You’d be right if you thought by blending red wine with white Sparkling wine. Again, the French jump up and down on their croutons over how and where this method should be used. But this practice is common the world over in Sparkling Rosé. The adding of red wine gives it an extra depth of flavour.

Spritz or Spritzer in a canA Spritz — not to be confused with that German guy you met at Mardi Gras — is the blending of a liqueur and Sparkling wine. You’ve probably heard the term used in cocktail making. A Spritzer is a different drink, generally made from mixing wine with carbonated water, sometimes with fruit juices and other botanical flavours. Whether it’s a Spritz or a Spritzer — in the can - they’re refreshing, easy to drink and convenient in this silver cylinder, ring pull form.
