Document Summary
The sparkling wines are the highest taxed form of wine. The italian term for sparkling wine is spumante, which means sparkling. The reason why these wines sparkle is because of their containment of dissolved co2, which is under pressure, and turns to bubbles when the bottle is opened. The legal definition is that any wine containing more than 1 atmosphere of carbon dioxide is considered sparkling wine. The limit for atmosphere goes from 1 up to 6 atmospheres. Coca cola and other shits have about 3. 4 up to 4. A big deal is made about labeling the bottle with champagne. Champagne is a place in france, which is famous for its champagnes . The co2 in natural champagnes comes from a second fermentation. The carbonated wines and beverages have artificially added co2. Other requirements for co2 is the need for the second fermentation to be done in a closed container so it wouldn"t be able to escape.
