How is champagne made?

The first step in making champagne is to grow the grapes. Champagne grapes are generally smaller and have thinner skins than table grapes. The three main varieties of grapes used in champagne are pinot noir, pinot meunier, and chardonnay.

After the grapes are harvested, they are crushed and the juice is extracted. The juice is then fermented in barrels or tanks for about a year. During this time, the yeast converts the sugar in the grape juice into alcohol.

After fermentation, the wine is ready to be bottled. But before it is bottled, the champagne must go through a process called “second fermentation.” To do this, the wine is mixed with yeast and sugar, and then it is sealed in the bottle.

The wine then undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle. This time, the yeast eats the sugar and produces carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas gets trapped in the bottle and makes the champagne sparkling.

Finally, the champagne is ready to be enjoyed!
