เขียนโดย ruengrit kumrintorn on วันเสาร์ที่ 17 ตุลาคม พ.ศ. 2552

As noted in my article on Making touched red roses and champagne, there are three different ways to the bubbles in sparkling wine or champagne. The first method was carbon dioxide, using the same method to a can of soda fizzy and also the cheapest method of producing sparkling wine. Method number two was the transmission method in which a sweetened base has yeast added and it is permissible for a second time ferment in a closed container so that the building CCarbon dioxide can not escape. After fermentation, the wine is clarified and then re-sweetened if necessary before being bottled under pressure. This method is used to produce medium price range sparkling wine. The last method and most complex of champagne method is used in creating the best quality wines. But what exactly is champagne method?

The champagne method begins with the first held fermentation in small oak barrels, either big steel vats with temperature orControls. The use of oak barrels is less common. After this first fermentation is complete, the wine is put through malolactic fermentation. This is when the wine growers hundreds of different batches of fermented wine from different vintages and grapes, and adds them together. The new mixture is then placed in a sealed bottle of wine, sugar and liqueur called "liqueur de tirage" and yeast. Fermentation takes place inside the sealed bottles from one tousually three years, creating an accumulation of carbon dioxide.

The dead yeast in the bottle to form a deposit on the bottom of the bottle and must be removed. To do so bottles are placed horizontally on racks made of wood and an eight every day and until the bottles vertically disposed on the head. The neck of the bottle now contains the sediment of dead yeast, the neck is frozen with a brine solution as disgorgement (dégorgement take place) can.

The seals areaway from the now congested and frozen gases built up force of the frozen sediment from the bottle. A sugary wine, liqueur d'expédition "is intended to supplement the bottles to help compensate for the acidity of the soil of wine. Next corks are inserted and wired down to prevent, diving from the gas pressure and the bottles ready for sale.

This method takes much longer than the other two methods, but it is for this reason along the way wines are more expensive and much morehigher quality. Examples of wine made with Dom Perignon champagne procedures (with the first fictional) with this method, Bollinger and Moet & Chandon. It is important to note, however, that the European Union has decided that the term Champagne method can only be used in Champagne wines. Any other sparkling wines to the EU specified period), Méthode traditionnelle (French for "traditional method". However, champagne method remains in useWines in many non-European countries, but these wines can not be imported into the EU.
