How to Serve Champagne? Champagne is an indulgence often associated with celebratory moments or opulent occasions. Serving champagne is an art form, from choosing the champagne to pouring it and pairing it with food. Whether known as champagne or sparkling wine, the bubbles in this style of wine cleanse the mouth, while its high acidity provides a refreshing taste. To get the most from your champagne or sparkling wine experience, learn the art behind serving it well.
Choose between champagne and sparkling wine. For a long time, all sparkling wine was referred to as “champagne” until many countries chose to apply the “rules of appellation.” This restored the technical designation of champagne so that it referred only to those sparkling wines grown and made in the Champagne region of northeastern France. Champagne from the Champagne region continues to be the “gold standard” of sparkling wine because the climate is cool and combines with the chalky soil to produce very acidic grapes, ideal for making sparkling wine. Moreover, champagne from this region tends to be aged for years rather than the months of aging allowed for most other varieties. In other regions where sparkling wine is produced, it tends to be referred to as: Cava in Spain; Sekt in Germany; Spumante or Prosecco in Italy; and sparkling wine in Australia, the US, New Zealand, and South Africa.
