SPARKLING WINES:
Sparkling wine is a wine with significant levels of carbon dioxide in it making it fizzy. The carbon dioxide may result from natural fermentation, (either in a bottle, as with the méthode champenoise, or in a large tank designed to withstand the pressures involved, as in the Charmat process) or as a result of carbon dioxide injection.
Sparkling wines must be aged in the producing winery for a certain minimum period starting from the onset of secondary fermentation
