Frustrating Champagne labelling
As an enthusiastic Champagne drinker first, and wine professional second, I’m frustrated by the lack of information on Champagne bottles.
Especially with non-vintage (NV) Champagnes, which are normally blends of several vintages, I like to have some idea of the wine’s age, and preferably, the length of time it spent maturing on its lees.

SEKT: THE CHEQUERED HISTORY 16 December 2020 19:49 |

SEKT: THE CHEQUERED HISTORY
For the longest time, Sekt was a dirty word. It stood for bottles of inexpensive, easy fizz with obnoxious plastic corks to be found on the street, next to the debris of spent fireworks, on New Year’s Day. Leftovers from high jinks and cheap thrills the night before. But that was then. Today, Sekt’s star is once again on the rise. We cannot even say that it is returning to its former glory because the story of German Sekt today is unprecedented and, quite literally, effervescent.

NATURAL WINES OF THE AUBE: TURNING CHAMPAGNE UPSIDE DOWN 12 January 2021 15:12 |

NATURAL WINES OF THE AUBE: TURNING CHAMPAGNE UPSIDE DOWN
Champagne is a region with a well defined and often strictly adhered-to identity. Its brand is luxury, built on the backs of large negociant houses making large amounts of very consistent sparkling wine in a region that is one of the world’s most challenging areas to grow ripe grapes. Champagne is famous for cold fronts, hail, and rain, causing mildew, rot, and many other vine diseases which are the enemy of the grape grower. Because of this most Champagne has historically been a blended wine - multi-varietal, multi-vintage, multi-vineyard - in order to achieve a reliable product year in and year out. While the obvious successes of these tactics may prove them a triumph to many, others yet criticize these practices for homogenizing a region of rich potential.

Een nieuw kwaliteitslabel voor VDP-Sekt 20 January 2021 19:11 |

Een nieuw kwaliteitslabel voor VDP-Sekt
Ruim twee jaar geleden maakte VDP.Die Prädikatsweinguter voor het eerst een eigen regelgeving over Sekt bekend. De details kan u lezen in dit artikel, maar in essentie kwam het erop neer dat leden van VDP voor het produceren van schuimwijn moesten uitgaan van de VDP-herkomstpiramide. Overeenkomstig met de classificatie voor stille wijnen -VDP.Gutswein, VDP.Ortswein, VDP.Erste Lage en VDP.Grosse Lage – zou schuimwijn dan VDP.Gutssekt, VDP.Ortssekt, VDP.ERSTE LAGE® Sekt en VDP.GROSSE LAGE® Sekt worden.
Klassieke flesfermentatie voor de tweede gisting (méthode traditionnelle) was verplicht, en VDP.Gutssekt en VDP.Ortssekt moesten tenminste 15 maanden op de droesem (“sur lattes”) rijpen, VDP.Lagensekt en alle jaargangwijnen (“millésimé“) minstens 36 maanden.

Coteaux Champenois, Champagne’s new wave
Why all the renewed interest in Champagne still wines? For those in the front line – both the winegrowers and the houses – the uptick for Coteaux Champenois is anything but trivial. Earlier harvests and riper fruit aromatics are creating ideal conditions for making still wines. The acidity, a hallmark of Champagne wines, is still there and whilst it needs to be reined in, it mustn’t be completely erased. It follows the patterns of weather hazards and is a happy medium that has to be found and one which the “new generation” of winegrowers are buying into.

This Is Why You Should Never Serve Prosecco in a Champagne Flute
There’s a time and a place for a Champagne flute, and there’s a million more for a Prosecco glass.
Any time beyond New Years Eve or homebound Grammy-watching parties, a Champagne flute can seem a little out of place. Even when making traditional mimosas at home, a flute can come in handy when you’re working with Champagne — but what about Prosecco?
The cold, hard truth is that Prosecco deserves its own glass. Enter one of VinePair’s favorite options, the Spiegelau Prosecco Glass. Unlike a traditional flute, a Prosecco glass is made with a rounder base and body to enhance the texture and aromas in this famous sparkling wine.
