To make sparkling wine, it undergoes a secondary fermentation either in the bottle (Champagne) or in tanks (Prosecco) to trap carbon dioxide. Sweetness levels range from dry brut to sweet doux.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>Sparkling wine is a style of wine that contains noticeable levels of carbon dioxide, which results in the wine being fizzy. The gas can be naturally produced through fermentation or added artificially during production. It is usually either produced in a white or ros\u00e9 style. Still, there are some red sparkling wines, including Brachetto and Lambrusco from Italy, as well as the Australian sparkling Shiraz. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sparkling wine sweetness can range from very dry and lean styles to sweeter and richer expressions. Some common sparkling wine types include Champagne, made in France via the traditional method; Prosecco, crafted via the tank method in Italy and Cava, traditionally produced in Spain. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-is-sparkling-wine-made\">How is sparkling wine made?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike still wines, sparkling wines undergo a <strong>secondary fermentation<\/strong>, in bottles or large tanks, according to the production method. The main production methods to craft sparkling wines are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Traditional method (or <\/strong><strong><em>m\u00e9thode champenoise<\/em><\/strong><strong>)<\/strong> where the secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle, resulting in fine bubbles and complex flavours (for fine sparkling wines, including Champagne ).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Charmat method<\/strong>: in this scenario, the secondary fermentation takes place in pressurised tanks, which gives the wine a fresh and fruity flavour (think good sparkling wines like Prosecco).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ancestral method (<\/strong>also known as<strong> <\/strong><strong><em>p\u00e9tillant naturel<\/em><\/strong><strong> or <\/strong><strong><em>p\u00e9t nat<\/em><\/strong><strong>)<\/strong>: this is the oldest sparkling wine technique. Fermentation begins in a tank but is interrupted before all the sugars convert into alcohol. The still fermenting wine is then transferred to the bottle, where fermentation continues naturally, creating a rustic and authentic wine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Artificial carbonation<\/strong>: CO\u2082 is directly added, producing immediate bubbles, like in carbonated soda, but they are generally larger and dissipate quickly. It is the least expensive method, often used for mass produced sparkling wines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"main-sparkling-wine-grape-varieties\">Main sparkling wine grape varieties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice of grape variety plays a fundamental role in defining the aroma and ageing potential of sparkling wines. Here are the sparkling wine grapes most commonly used by winemakers around the world:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chardonnay<\/strong> is a versatile white grape known for producing wines that can be crisp and citrusy or rich and buttery. It is often used for oaked sparkling wines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pinot Noir, <\/strong>despite being a black skinned grape, stands out among the world\u2019s most captivating grapes, also for white sparkling and ros\u00e9 wines. Thanks to its red fruit aromas and an elegance that never overwhelms, it is very versatile in a wide range of sparkling wines (including Champagne).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pinot Meunier<\/strong> is a fruity grape commonly used alone or in Champagne blends to add roundness and approachability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Glera<\/strong> is celebrated as the white grape behind Prosecco, with a fresh and floral character that produces lively bubbles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lambrusco<\/strong> is capable of producing sparkling wines ranging from dry to slightly sweet, characterised by lively fruity notes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Moscato<\/strong> is the grape used to make sweet and low alcohol wines with flavours of peach and apricot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heads up:<\/strong> a crucial element to monitor during the production of sparkling wines is accidental fermentation, which can compromise the wine&#8217;s stability if not controlled carefully by the winemaker!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"what-are-the-types-of-sparkling-wine\"><\/div><h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-2cc253e\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-2cc253e \">What are the types of sparkling wine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The types of sparkling wine vary according to their method of production, the grape varieties used, the region of origin and even the residual sugar left in the wine. Aside from the sparkle, the main factors that distinguish one sparkling wine type from another include:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Body<\/strong>: is the impression of weight and fullness the wine creates in the mouth. It is shaped by its alcohol level, tannins, sugar and overall texture, varying from light and refreshing to full bodied with depth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sweetness\/dryness level:<\/strong> indicates the amount of residual sugar left after fermentation and how perceptible it is on the palate. A dry sparkling wine has little to no detectable sugar, while a sweet sparkling wine retains noticeable sugar that brings roundness and richness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aromatic profile<\/strong>: refers to the range and intensity of scents perceived through the nose and retronasal sensations.

Let\u2019s see in detail the varieties and styles:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Champagne (France)<\/strong>: the tiny villages of the Champagne region craft it with the traditional method, giving it layers of flavour that can age for decades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cava (Spain)<\/strong>: it is a Spanish sparkling wine from Catalonia that locals enjoy with tapas. Typically dry and crisp with citrusy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prosecco (Italy)<\/strong>: most Prosecco is made from&nbsp; Glera grapes with the tank method, which keeps it fresh and fruity.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spumante (Italy)<\/strong>: this flexible term covers a wide range of styles (dry, sweet, white or red) with each Italian region having its own take.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Franciacorta (Italy)<\/strong>: it is Lombardy\u2019s pride, considered Italy\u2019s nod to Champagne. Often produced using the traditional method with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as main grapes, its long bottle fermentation creates creamy bubbles and complex, elegant aromas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trento DOC (Italy)<\/strong>: another high quality Italian sparkling wine that is crafted with the traditional method. Mainly produced in the Trentino Alto Adige alpine region, this variety is usually the result of carefully blended Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cr\u00e9mant (France):<\/strong> this is a category of French sparkling wines crafted with the same method as Champagne. Each region offers unique expressions that result, according to the grape and the terroir, in Cr\u00e9mant de Loire (floral and honeyed from Chenin Blanc grapes), Cr\u00e9mant d\u2019Alsace (crisp and mineral from Riesling grapes) or Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne (refined and elegant from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Moscato d\u2019Asti (Italy)<\/strong>: a light, sweet sparkling version that contains very low alcohol.&nbsp; It is made from Moscato grapes and pairs perfectly with dessert or brunch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lambrusco (Italy)<\/strong>: maybe the most misunderstood Italian wine, it originates from Emilia Romagna and offers lively red bubbles with a slightly sweet, refreshing taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sekt (Germany and Austria)<\/strong>: these lesser known sparkling wines are crafted with the traditional method, often using local grapes such as Riesling, Gr\u00fcner Veltliner or Pinot varieties. The wines produced are usually crisp, mineral and aromatic.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>English sparkling wine (UK)<\/strong>: an emerging star produced mainly in Sussex and Kent on chalk soils quite similar to those of the Champagne region. Made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and using the traditional method, English sparkling wine presents high acidity and complexity.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shiraz Sparkling (Australia)<\/strong>: this red sparkling wine is a unique Australian speciality. The wine is rich and full bodied with bold flavours of dark berries, chocolate and pepper spice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cap Classique (South Africa)<\/strong>: locally known as M\u00e9thode Cap Classique, these sparkling wines are made with the traditional method using Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Their aromatic profile is lively with notes of fruit, brioche and citrus.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>California sparkling wine (USA):<\/strong> California has become a serious player in sparkling wine. <strong>Schramsberg, Roederer Estate and Domaine Carneros<\/strong> craft wines with the traditional method, blending Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The results are impressive: yeasty cuv\u00e9es with great ageing potential that rival respected Old World counterparts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"most-popular-sparkling-wines-amongst-collectors\"><\/div><h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-6ada9fc\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-6ada9fc \">Most popular sparkling wines amongst collectors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain sparkling wines and labels have earned legendary status worldwide, becoming so valued that they are now viewed as true investment assets.

Here are 4 simple tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Store it cool<\/strong>, maintaining a steady temperature between 7 and 13\u00b0C to protect its taste and effervescence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep it dark<\/strong> and shield your wine from light and UV rays, which can degrade its aromas and character.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Store bottles horizontally<\/strong> to keep the cork moist and ensure an airtight seal to preserve the bubbles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid temperature fluctuations<\/strong> because sudden changes can harm the wine and dry out the cork.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extra tip: <\/strong>the best way to keep open bottles of sparkling wine fresh is to reseal them with a specialised sparkling wine stopper. This method helps maintain the wine\u2019s carbonation and flavour for up to 2-3 days. Beyond that, the bubbles will start to fade, so it\u2019s best to enjoy the wine within this timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-we-rate-sparkling-wines\">How we rate sparkling wines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a sparkling wine to earn its place on our list, it has to be tasted and scored independently by our tasting panel. We keep the selections exclusive: only bottles that score at least 4.6 out of 5 make it onto our recommendations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We work with a 50 point scoring system, but to keep things clean and simple for you, it is translated into a 5 point scale:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5 = Exceptional<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 = Excellent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 = Very Good<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 = Good<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 = Fair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What exactly do we look for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Appearance<\/strong> (up to 5 points): does the wine appear attractive? We&#8217;re evaluating clarity, depth of colour and brightness, the first clues about what&#8217;s coming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aroma &amp; bouquet<\/strong> (up to 15 points): we want to see intensity, layered complexity and a clean nose free of flaws or impurities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flavour &amp; palate<\/strong> (up to 20 points): acidity, tannin, alcohol and mouthfeel all need to be pulling in harmony.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overall impression<\/strong> (up to 10 points): this involves assessing the harmony, typicity, the length of the wine\u2019s finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We also hold every sparkling wine to these two additional standards:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mousse: <\/strong>fine, persistent bubbles that create lasting foam are indicators of high quality and long aged wines, particularly ones crafted with the traditional method.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balanced structure: <\/strong>a sparkling wine may be extra dry or doux, but no matter the sweetness level, a quality sparkling wine possesses balanced sugar, acidity and alcohol levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>A note from our team: <\/em><\/strong><em>numbers and ratings are important, but they don\u2019t tell the whole story. Our scores are a reflection of our palates and opinions on each bottle. The attached tasting notes are the most important pieces of the puzzle and we encourage you to read them so that you can find and buy sparkling wines that you will truly love and enjoy.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"wcp-internal-links-section\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wcp-internal-links-heading\"><strong>You might also be interested in<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wcp-internal-links-container\" data-columns=\"2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/winescurated.com\/uk\/champagne\/\" class=\"wcp-il-item\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcp-il-image-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/winescurated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/champagne-glasses-hero-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Champagne\" class=\"wcp-il-image\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcp-il-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcp-il-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wcp-il-text\">CHAMPAGNE<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wcp-il-arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"15\" height=\"15\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 1024\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#ffffff\" d=\"M375.6 529l-293.6 296c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-34 0l-39.6-39.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-34l237-239.4-237-239.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-34l39.6-39.6c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 34 0l293.6 296c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 34z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/winescurated.com\/uk\/prosecco\/\" class=\"wcp-il-item\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcp-il-image-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/winescurated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Best-Italian-Prosecco-brands.png\" alt=\"Prosecco\" class=\"wcp-il-image\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcp-il-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcp-il-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wcp-il-text\">PROSECCO<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wcp-il-arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"15\" height=\"15\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 1024\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#ffffff\" d=\"M375.6 529l-293.6 296c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-34 0l-39.6-39.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-34l237-239.4-237-239.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-34l39.6-39.6c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 34 0l293.6 296c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 34z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-cd51224\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-cd51224\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-6538cb0\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-6538cb0\">\n<h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-a8751f9\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-a8751f9 \"><strong>FAQs on sparkling wine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"schema-faq\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"schema-faq-section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"schema-faq-question\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Which sparkling wine is sweet?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"schema-faq-answer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoy sweeter sparkling wines, Moscato d\u2019Asti and Asti Spumante are top picks.

Non vintage bottles should be enjoyed within 1-2 years, while vintage or premium bottles may age for 5-30 years (especially for Champagne) if stored properly. Over time, both bubbles and flavour fade. For the best experience, enjoy your sparkling wine relatively young while it still has its vibrant character and freshness.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"schema-faq-section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"schema-faq-question\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Does sparkling wine go bad after opening?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"schema-faq-answer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, sparkling wine can go bad after opening. Once opened, it loses its bubbles quickly, typically within 1-3 days. Even unopened bottles can spoil if stored improperly. To keep your bubbly fresh, store it in a cool and dark place with a consistent temperature, and always reseal opened bottles tightly.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"schema-faq-section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"schema-faq-question\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Is sparkling wine alcoholic?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"schema-faq-answer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Absolutely!

Skip the dramatic pop unless you\u2019re celebrating big!<\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does sparkling wine expire?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Sparkling wine doesn\u2019t last forever. Non vintage bottles should be enjoyed within 1-2 years, while vintage or premium bottles may age for 5-30 years (especially for Champagne) if stored properly. Over time, both bubbles and flavour fade. For the best experience, enjoy your sparkling wine relatively young while it still has its vibrant character and freshness.<\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does sparkling wine go bad after opening?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Yes, sparkling wine can go bad after opening. Once opened, it loses its bubbles quickly, typically within 1-3 days. Even unopened bottles can spoil if stored improperly. To keep your bubbly fresh, store it in a cool and dark place with a consistent temperature, and always reseal opened bottles tightly.<\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is sparkling wine alcoholic?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Absolutely! Sparkling wines generally have an alcohol content between 11% and 13%. Some lighter styles, such as Moscato, can have lower levels around 5% to 7%. To be certain about the alcohol percentage before pouring, always check the label. This helps you select the right sparkling wine for your preference and occasion.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Where can I find sparkling wine offers?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Here at Wines Curated, we recommend sparkling wines from top producers globally, which are available to buy on websites that offer the best deals on sparkling wine in the UK. Whether you\u2019re picking a bottle for your next celebration or curating a sparkling wine gift set, these sparkling wine deals ensure that you\u2019re getting the best bottles at the best prices,
