  • About

The appearance of the bubbles in a sparkling wine can give you a clue about its quality. Champagne and other sparkling wines made by the “traditional method”, or Méthode Traditionelle, have a stream of fine, small bubbles. Sparkling wine made by other methods, such as tank fermentation, sometimes known as Charmat or Cuve Close, may have bigger bubbles.

COMPARING LEGS This wine above doesn’t have legs, but the prominent legs on the wine below show that it is high in alcohol.

Some wines, such as Portuguese Vinho Verde, are bottled with the addition of just a little carbon dioxide under pressure. When you drink these wines, you feel just a light prickle on the tongue and they may leave a thin layer of small bubbles clinging to the inside of the bowl of the glass.
