It has been long since my last post, today, i am going to talk about Champagne!!
Champagne has always been classy and elegant.
Now let me take you to the world of it.


Champagne and others sparkling wine are made from a blend of grapes such as Chardonnay, Pinot Nior or Pinot Meunier. Those blend has been mentioned on my first post, feel free to check it out later.




People will always ask any wine passionate a question:

What is the difference between Champagne and others sparkling wine?



Champagne is generally refers to sparkling wine made in a specific region of France. Bubbly sparkling wine made from other regions have different names, yet they are less famous as champagne. Spain's sparkler is called Cava, Italy's bubbles come in Prosecco and Moscato d'Asti, and French sparkling wines from everywhere outside of Champagne are referred to as Cremant.


Champagne can be classify and graded according to their brand, flavor, blend of grapes and vintage or non-vintage, wait. what is non-vintage. Non-vintage usually refers to the grapes are come from blend of several years, usually, they taste a little bit worse than vintage.

Champagne and Sparkling wine are classified with several distinct words


Burt - dry (popular style and food friendly)


Extreme Burt - (extra dry)


Extra dry - (not as dry as burt)


Demi sec - Pretty sweet


The Top Champagne

I managed to get my hand on the King of Champagne Dom Perignon with the vintage of 2002 last year. It tastes really good, a great different between its main rivals Krug and Moet. A bottle of that cost around 110 - 220 AUD depends on the vintage.

(Dom Perignon is the bottle with a school-batch shape logo far on the top left side)


Drink on ! Cheers
