Sparkling Wine Brands

Wine lovers all around the world will be well-aware of the many different sparkling wine brands that are considered to be the best of the lot. Sparling wine is differentiated from other wines by the large amount of carbon dioxide that is present in the wine, thus making it fizzy and bubbly. This is exactly what makes sodas and colas fizzy, and sparkling wines share this characteristic.

The method of infusing this carbon dioxide inside the wine is something that can be achieved either by injecting the wine with carbon dioxide at some stage in the fermentation process, or by letting the carbon dioxide occur naturally during the fermentation. There are a few sparkling red wines that you can find from place to place, but most sparkling wines are white wines.

The process of adding the bubbles and the fizz to the wine is something that happens in two stages. The first stage of fermentation follows the normal path and process of wine making, but then the wine is fermented a second time in order to add the bubbles. This second fermentation is carried out in the bottle itself, or in a specially designed tank for this purpose. The traditional method of creating sparkling wine is known as Methode Champenoise, and this is carried out in the bottle itself. When a special tank is used for second fermentation, the method is known as Charmat.

All these sparkling wine brands are made by different sparkling wine companies from around the world, and different countries have their own best selling brands. For example the most well-known Italian sparkling wine brands are Franciacorta, Asti (a sweet sparkling wine), Prosecco, Lambrusco and the Trento DOC.
