Did you know that the majority of sparkling wines and Champagnes are sweetened?
This process is called dosage and is the final touch adding to the wines before corking.
Mixture of reserve wines and pure can sugar is added to Champagnes to balance the high level of natural activity but also to create the perfect level of sweetness expected by the customers. The majority of Champagnes and sparkling wines are labelled as brut, which means dry, and Brut Champagnes contains between 5-7 grams of sugar per litre.
