说到起泡酒的优点，就像她产生的起泡一样，多到数不清楚。起泡酒中活泼的起泡会放大酒里的各类香气，带来味蕾上的刺激。较高的酸度伴随低温带来的清爽让起泡酒成为葡道夏天的露台C位。

另外酒中的二氧化碳在肠胃之中会加快酒精的吸收，在派对中常常让人一杯就“微醺”。

可以说是快速打破社交壁垒，缩短人与人心灵距离的社交神器。当然，如果你是一个重度选择困难症患者，总是纠结不知道该选什么样的酒去参加各类酒局饭局，或者不太清楚复杂的餐酒搭配，那么起泡酒也是绝对保险的万能搭配。无论中餐西餐，冷菜热汤，还是酸甜苦辣，选择起泡酒去搭配总会让人眼前一亮。

那么说了这么多，众多起泡酒是如何分类？众多分类中又该如何选择呢？

根据不同的发酵方法：

    ★ 最主流也是成本最高的传统法

    ★ 简单且低成本的大罐法

根据葡萄品种和颜色又可以分为：

    ★ 桃红Rose

    ★ 颜色清澈且全部用白葡萄品种做的白中白Blanc de Blanc

    ★ 颜色清澈且全部用红葡萄品种做的黑中白Blanc de Noir

根据原料的年份又可以分：

    ★ 单一年份葡萄酿造的年份起泡酒（在好年份才会做，高质量高价格的代名词）

    ★ 多年份基酒调配的无年份起泡酒（为了保证每年品质稳定想出来的好办法）

按原产地分类：

    ★ 比较常见的 法国的香槟（Champange），西班牙的卡瓦（Cava），意大利的普罗塞克（Procecco）

    ★ 小众的还有德国的Sekt，法国的Cremant，意大利的Franciacorta

这些因素排列组合在一起造就出了让人着迷的起泡酒世界，靠近它，爱上它，从本次的葡道品鉴会开始。

Sparklers enjoy the most popularity and success among all kinds of wines. The popping of the cork when you open a sparkler makes it a must-have for many on special occasions like weddings or award ceremonies. Sparklers are also ubiquitous in a bar, at a night club or on a yacht.

The number of its outstanding features is just as countless as that of the bubbles it creates. The sparkling bubbles highlight various aromas of the wine and stimulate the palate. Its higher acidity when served chilled brings a sense of refreshment, which is what makes it the wine that draws the most attention in our summer sessions. 

Furthermore, carbon dioxide in bubblies accelerates the absorption of alcohol in the digestive system. You’ll feel a little tipsy after only one drink.

In that sense, they are ideal for breaking the ice and bringing people closer during social occasions. Of course, if you find it extremely difficult to make a choice on what kind of wine to bring to a dinner party or which wine pairs with which food, bubbly is a safe choice that goes well with everything. Bubbly always brings you a surprise whether it is Chinese food or Western cuisine and a cold dish or hot soup; regardless of the taste.

Then, how are bubblies categorized? How do we choose among such a vast selection?

They can be categorized by methods of fermentation:

★ Méthode traditionale, aka the Champagne method, also the most costly one

★ The Charmat process, easy to operate and inexpensive

By variety and color:

★ Rosé, in pink

★ Blanc de Blanc, made entirely from white grapes, with a clear color

★ Blanc de Noir, made entirely from red grapes, with a clear color

By vintage:

★ Made from grapes harvested within the same year (only produced in good years, featuring high quality and high price)

★ Made with various base wines of different vintage mixed together (a method to guarantee the stability of quality of each year’s product)

By origin:

★ Common origins: Champagne in France, Cava in Spain, Prosecco in Italy

★ Niche products from: Sekt in Germany, Crémant in France, Franciacorta in Italy

With so many different ways of categorization, the world of sparkling wine is surely fascinating. Get to know it and fall in love with it, starting with Pudao’s appreciation session of sparklers.
