About this episode
The episode explores the legalities of wine terminology, focusing on Methode Traditionelle and its relation to Champagne, Prosecco, and Cava.
Carefully treading through the legalities of what we can call what. Perfumiers and Elderflower extractors beware. Aiming to speak all things champagne, we quickly digress, and stick, to explaining what method traditional is. Prosecco and Cava are referenced as well as brands such as Lindauer. Are Kent vineyards and other south coast contenders friends or foe? Along the way I muddle my Cricket 'Keepers' with Baseball 'Catchers'. But, primarily, the episode attempts to keep us sweet with any French Champagne legal teams. Santé! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
