Very educational; as someone who does not know a lot about alcohol in general, I find these videos quite useful.

Nice explanation of what each of the three varietals bring to the mix

Hi there, just stumbled upon your vids.
Enjoyed your clear & succinct explanation of wines, & their nuances & their historical back stories. However, in this particular episode you omitted to mention English sparking wines that are increasingly thought superior to modern appellations of champagne. Hence, champagne producers are now purchasing land in southern England.

Hi everyone! What's your favorite Sparkling wine? Is there one I didn't mention here? Let me know in the comments.

I’d rather have a Cava than a Prosecco!! Just bought some less expensive Champagne 🍾 at the store yesterday and have them in the wine fridge to try some day!!

Trader Joe's used to sell a nice bottle of German sekt at a low price.
