author:Handsome Jia Lianjie

Champagne is the name of an ancient french province. Champagne is a sparkling wine produced in the Champagne province. It is made by adding sucrose and yeast to fine white wine and then fermentation. Traditional champagne is fermented in glass bottles. This wine was made by chance by a priest of a monastery in the seventeenth century.

Traditional champagne wine, using the prepared wine as raw material, re-fermentation with sucrose (each liter of wine must not exceed fifty-one grams), with special champagne yeast, the bottle pressure per square centimeter to reach about eight to ten kilograms. Cork stoppers must be tied to the top of the bottle with a thin wire. After the fermented champagne wine is loosened, the carbon dioxide gas in the wine pushes the cork out of the bottle and makes a loud noise. Pour the champagne into the glass and bubbles constantly appear in the wine.

Champagne wine is divided into four types: extremely dry, dry, semi-sweet and extremely sweet. The so-called extremely dry and dry means that there is no sugar and little sugar in the wine.

Because the traditional champagne wine is made bottle by bottle, it is extremely labor-intensive and the output is very small. Fermentation began in large tanks by the 1940s. At the beginning of 1980, With the assistance of the scientific research department, China's QD winery has successfully used large tanks for trial production. After the evaluation of experts, it is believed that the taste is delicious, the carbon dioxide gas is sufficient, and it can be used as a high-end banquet wine, which makes China's champagne industry take a big step.
