Carbonated Local Sparkling Wine

The difference between carbonated sparkling wine and others such as Champagne or MCC is in the method of getting the bubbles into the wine. While the latter uses a secondary fermentation process (in the bottle or the tank), carbonated sparkling wine gets the bubbles into the bottle through a simple carbon dioxide injection process. Although this means these wines are substantially more affordable than traditional bubbly, it doesn’t mean they should be ignored. Fresh, zesty, fruity and light, a bottle of local sparkling wine on a hot summer’s day cannot be beat.
