WH4 Hash 1165 -- Dec 30, 2007 -- 3:00pm -- Vienna Metro
In a past announcement, I educated you wankers on kegs. This week, in honor of the coming holiday, I shall educate you on sparkling wines. I know, I know -- hashers aren't supposed to "do" wine, but seeing as how New Year's Eve is often derided as Amateur's Night, it befits us drinking pros to get to know our weapons of choice. And since I suspect most of you will imbibe at least one glass of the sparkly stuff (probably from a plastic boob glass) here are some factoids. (Factoids brought to you buy the joy of plagiarism ! Thanks DCist!)
1. All champagne is sparkling wine, but not all sparkling wine is champagne. As we all learned from Rob Lowe in "Wayne's World", champagne only comes from the Champagne region of France.
2. Sparkling wine can be made from any grape, but there are only three grapes to make true champagne -- Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay.
3. Most sparkling wines are non-vintage. Non-vintage means there's a blend of harvests. Vintage sparkling wines are made from a single harvest of grapes, and aren't even produced every year.
So yes, that Cold Duck or Korbel you buy at the drugstore on the way to your party isn't really champagne, and it's definitely not vintage. Still, it can get you drunk and leave you hungover, so be sure to pick up some prophylactics and some Advil while you're still in the CVS.
