Champagne is a sparkling drink, and the opening of a bottle of this wine, as a rule, has some special reasons. With the approach of the New Year, the question of choosing champagne is very acute, especially for those who drink it rarely and doubt, looking at the battery of bottles on the supermarket shelf.
Asking which champagne to choose, think about what you expect from it. If you are interested in cotton cork, foam in glasses and holiday atmosphere, then do not go to extremes and buy collection wine, champagne "Abrau-Dyurso" or "Rostov" is quite suitable. In the same price range, there are "Myskhako", "Kuban Wines" and other drinks produced in the south of Russia. Their quality is maintained at the proper level, and the taste corresponds to expectations.
How to choose a good champagne?
Paying attention to expensive products, it is better to give preference to wines produced in the countries making up the top three winemaking leaders - France, Italy and Spain. Everyone knows that the name of the drink originated from the French province, and the labels of the Italian "Martini Asti" are easy to recognize on shop windows. Connoisseurs of wines argue that the fullness of the taste and aroma of sparkling wine can be assessed only by consuming dry wines, in the case of champagne it is brut. However, those who drink this drink rarely, semisweet wine will be more suitable.
Before you choose champagne for the New Year, think about the number of guests. If you plan a noisy meal with a lot of guests, then safely choose a semisweet "Abrau", its taste corresponds to all the required indicators, and the price does not hit the wallet. And for a romantic celebration with your loved one, you can afford to buy one or two bottles of sparkling wine from world producers. It is better to make a similar purchase in a specialized store.
