Bar Hack of the Week: How to Preserve Bubbles After Opening

How-To:

    • Preservation Tip: Use a wine stopper specifically designed for sparkling wines to keep the carbonation intact.
    • Alternative Method: Place a metal spoon handle down in the neck of the bottle and store it in the fridge. This can help maintain the bubbles for a day or two.
💡 Answer to Trivia Question:

Rose´s pink color comes from a maceration process with red grapes. The red grape skins transfer the pink tonalities to the juice, but as opposed to red wines, rosé undergoes a short maceration time from 12-24 hours, and the must is pressed before the juice darkens too much.

Cheers to rosé and sunny days ahead!
