Why don't they make red champagne?

Question

You get red and white wine, why isn't there a red champagne?

Answer 1

First of all, they do make red "sparkling" wines. however, The term, and name "Champaigne" is designated legally to wines produced in that region of france. The production there of red wines is not as prevalent as is the classic variations of the well known Champaigne. So no, there is no Red Champaigne, but there are red sparkling wines.

Answer 2

Red Champagne

Answer 3

There isn't a true red champagne but there is Rose. Rose is going to be a darker pink color due to the fact that it is made from Pinot Noir which is a red grape. Other champagne styles such as Brut, Extra Dry, Sec, Saten etc. are made from Chardonnay or Pinut Menuier.
You should try Contadi Castaldi Rose sparkling. It's made in Italy and is incredible. They also make a killer Brut and Saten. You can usually find them for under $30.

Good luck

No expiration dates, but they have peak maturity. Knowing when a wine peaks is more an art than science, and has huge variability between vintages, grapes, and regions grown. Higher acidity and tannins help slow the aging process, so long as they are properly stored. Generally, white wines are best in the first 3-4 years since the vintage (exceptions would be German rieslings, and white Burgundy which improve with age). Old world reds are made to age, so you are looking at 5-10 but up to 30-40 years depending on above factors. In Europe, the most expensive wines are made to age. New world (Americas, Australia, S. Africa) are made to be drunk earlier (3-8 years from vintage) with a few exceptions. Champagne, but not all sparkling wine, can last, and does improve with age. Unless you have vintage champagne though, it is difficult to tell how old it is. Look for a batch number and do some research on the web to find out. There are charts on the web for different wines, regions, and vintages to help you with your maturing process. The truth is though, there is no real science behind how these charts are made, just a lot of tasting and educated guessing. THATS the job I want.

Answer 5

There is. It's called red sparkling wine. There's also pink champagne. If you have a Trader Joe's near you, they should have it there.

Answer 6

Because Champagne is a single type of wine made in one region of France and in no other country in the world. In that region there are a number of "rules" to which the wine maker must adhere. And making a red version of Champagne is against these "rules".

Answer 9

I thought they did? I know for certain you get pink champagne. I think largely though its about getting the right acid and tannin balance in the grapes, you tend to get a lighter, more lively balance with the white grapes than the red ones

Don't know, but I had some strawberry wine last night. Tasted nice, and it's pretty close, only it hasn't got any bubbles.
