In which I share my thoughts after attending the first-ever retrospective of the Ultramarine sparkling wines from Charles Heintz Vineyard. #wine #bubbles #sparklingwine https://www.vinography.com/2023/08/ultramarine-californias-first-cult-sparkling-wine

I'm still relatively new to rosé, but since the first time I tasted this "Mrs H" sparkling rosé from Horner Wines I fell in love. Sparkling rosé has a reputation in Australia for being quite sweet but this is not, if there's any residual sugar it must be low. A year in the cellar has also been great for it. Classic strawberries-and-cream on the nose with beautiful full mouth feel, could just drink the entire bottle but had to share it with the wife 😂 #huntervalley #wine #rosé #sparklingwine

It's a cold windy winter night in Newcastle but the pub is packed so we're stuck outside 😔 At least I have this delicious bottle of bubbles from Tulloch Wines to keep me warm! There's no appellation on the bottle so I'm not sure where the fruit is from but it is bloody delicious! #huntervalley #wine #sparklingwine

@wineuncorkeduk Second fermentation and aging on the lees in bottle should provide a more persistent mousse and more complexity of flavor than #Charmat. I love Moscato d'Asti for the intensity of its aroma and fruit, but it's a completely different product from, say, #Franciacorta and, incidentally, quite inexpensive. #Champagne #SparklingWine #English

Apart from top products, sparkling wine in Germany is predominantly a mass product.

This is shown by the announcement: Food retail - sparkling wine becomes more expensive "Corner price for Rotkäppchen sparkling wine in the past year from 3.99 to 4.49 euros".

As an offer price, the bottles previously cost just 2.49 - and now ▶️ 2.79 €? (2.79 € - 19% VAT - 1.02 sparkling wine tax = still about 1.30 € for 🍇+🍾)

Rotkäppchen is the best-selling sparkling wine brand in Germany. The Rotkäppchen Mumm group is one of the largest producers with annual sales of € 1.2 billion

Thanks deepl for the translation 🙂🥂

Apropos andere Hobbys. Gibt es hier im Fediverse eigentlich auch eine #weinbubble ?
#wein #sparklingwine

I've always enjoyed sparkling wine, even as a teenager. There are plenty of top quality bubbles here in Oz, but there is always that allure of French bubbles. Unfortunately champagne is very pricey here in Oz, even the "entry level" bottles. So I was absolutely thrilled to discover Blancquette de Limoux, and in particular, the original of them all, St Hilaire.

It is incredible to me that a bottle of French methode traditionnelle sparkling wine can be produced, bottled, shipped to Australia and sold at retail for the same price as a cheap bottle of carbonated local white wine. But you know what, I'll take it 😂🍾
