Everything you wanted to know about bubbly, but were too afraid to ask! Why is champagne so expensive? What is the difference between champagne, cava, crémant and prosecco? What should I look for on a label? How long should I keep a bottle? What food should I serve with it? Where can I buy good value-for-money sparkling wines?

This masterclass is led by Cynthia Coutu, a certified wine professional who was voted Best Wine Tasting in Paris in 2018. During the masterclass you will learn about:

• the 6 different ways of making sparkling wine
• the countries/regions and their grape varieties
• the factors that affect quality, style and price
• buying, storing, serving and pairing sparkling wine with food

 
You will figure out what type of champagne you prefer and why, discover how to get the best bang for your buck, and you will get answers to all of your questions. You will taste 4 different champagnes made by women that illustrate the different types of grapes, terroirs and winemaking methods.

A generous selection of French delicacies will be provided so you can try pairing them with the different styles of champagne.

You will learn tons and have fun!
