How to Pick Out the Right Champagne Cases
When it comes to picking out the right champagne case, most people do not know where to start, so here is a guide to picking the right brand in the hope that you discover new possibilities.
Most people tend to stick with three things when they buy champagne:
- Prefer a brand that they have bought before and play it safe by buying it again.
- Try another person’s recommendation
- Look at a wine list in front of them and pick one.
If you drink the brand that you have tried and like before, you will never be disappointed. However, if you keep drinking the same brand, you will get bored of the same old thing. If you try someone else’s suggestions, you may or may not be pleased with their taste in champagne this maybe because all of us have different tastes and the brand of champagne that you friend loves may not be the one which you like. If you pick something that is on the wine list, it is like letting someone else pick your champagne for you, you do not have a lot to choose from. That’s one way in which the big brands ensure that they sell a lot. When there is an absence of a deliberate choice as to which champagne you want, it is not really a pleasurable experience.
Even when you buy you champagne cases online, you need to know a little bit about this shiny beverage before you place an order. Here is the first step, when you log onto a wine selling website, take a look at what grape each champagne is made from. This is very basic. After all, when you buy a bottle of champagne you would want to know which variety of grape was used. You should do this so that you know the quality of champagne you are buying.
Champagne is usually made from three varieties of grape which are: white grapes – Chardonnay, these are actually green skinned grapes used to make white wines and black grapes like Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The black grapes are also used to make white champagne this is because the juice produced after pressing the grape is colourless despite the colour of the skin being black.
The next thing you should do while buying your champagne cases online is to read the complete specifications of champagne displayed. You can always check for levels of sweetness, for example, choosing ‘Brut zero’, means choosing a variety that has lowers than 3 grams of sugar per litre where as if you are looking for a very sweet variety of champagne, you may want to choose ‘Doux’ which has 50 grams of sugar per litre. There are several other varieties, but it helps if you read through the specifications to know what the champagne would taste like.
