Matching Champagne and Food

Admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:09:18 +0000

Champagne is regularly served as an aperitif or as a toast at the end of a meal, so it is often overlooked when it comes to food. However, because Champagne is naturally acidic, it makes a really good food match – and not just for oysters and caviar as you might expect, but for a number of different foods.

Non Vintage Champagne

This is the cheapest and probably most common type of Champagne available. Non-vintage Champagne is blended from wines from several years and, in doing so, this ensures that a consistent style is achieved. Non-vintage Champagne is younger and, generally, fruiter than other Champagnes, so is a perfect match for slightly lighter foods, such as egg or mushroom based dishes, hard cheeses, pasta or risotto (particularly with a cream or mushroom based sauce), vegetables, fish and seafood. Strange as it may seem, non-vintage Champagne also goes really well with fish and chips, as the acidity of the Champagne helps cut through the oiliness.

Vintage Champagne

Vintage Champagne is made from a blend of wines from a particular year, when the quality of the wine is good enough to declare a vintage. Because it has been aged for a few years, it has as slightly more complex structure than a non-vintage Champagne, so can stand up to stronger, fuller flavours. For example, all types of fish and seafood, especially when accompanied with a creamy sauce are a perfect match for vintage Champagne, as are lightly smoked foods, cheese, duck, caviar and poultry with a rich sauce.

Blanc de Blancs

Champagne is made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, which are red grapes, along with Chardonnay, which is a white grape. Blanc de Blancs, however, is Champagne which is made exclusively from the Chardonnay grape. This is a rare style of Champagne and goes well with lighter style foods and, in particular, sushi, oysters, goat’s cheese, gently flavoured white fish and vegetables.

Blanc de Noirs

This is Champagne made from just the red grapes, Pinot Noir and / or Pinot Meunier. If you come across a bottle, try teaming it with full flavoured foods such as meat and cheese.

Demi Sec

Demi sec style Champagne is sweeter than traditional brut champagne and is a good match for foie gras or foods that have a slight edge of sweetness to them. It also goes well with desserts (as long as they aren’t too sweet), as well as red berries – particularly strawberries.

Rosé

Rosé based Champagne goes very well with seafood, including prawns and lobster, or slightly pinker style meats including lamb, ham and game.

Hibiscus Champagne – a Touch of Real Indulgence

Admin — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:30:12 +0000

There is a saying in Italy that goes “Vedi Napoli e poi muori” which translates to “See Naples and die!” Well, Realindulgence.com proclaims that with a glass of ‘Hibiscus Champagne’ – “You will live another life!”

‘Hibiscus Champagne’ is a remarkable concept presented by Realindulgence.com. The idea is simple; you lay a Hibiscus Flower bud into a champagne flute and pour any champagne you desire. Notice as you topple the flower, the millions of effervescent bubbles will assist the tantalizing flower to slowly bloom. Now, should you wish to sweeten this beverage and create a voluptuous cocktail you may add a drizzle of the potion like crimson syrup which will create a graduation in colour from a dark rich crimson to a lavish pink. There you have it – a concoction with kudos! Not only are the Wild Hibiscus Flowers an eye candy, but you actually get two bites of the cherry (or rather two bites of the flower) since these Wild Hibiscus Flowers are also edible. So once you’ve drained your drink – you simply eat the flower. The taste of the flower is a blend of sumptuously fruity sweet flavour from cherries to raspberries which conjures up childhood memories. As well as being full of flavour, Hibiscus flowers confer the same added health benefits as tea and red wine. This has got to be the Rolls Royce of champagne cocktails – very much different from your standard Kir Royal and Bellini. Now, there is no saying that the possibilities of this creation stops here. As the world-renowned Dorchester Bar demonstrates, adding a dash of rose vodka and a touch of mint separates them from the crowd.

The Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup is a product of Australia and has taken the world by storm. The Wild Hibiscus Flowers first came about when inventor Lee Etherington was using the flowers as a garnish for a desert at a garden party, when one of the blooms accidentally fell into a glass of champagne. Everyone was astounded when a guest began to mimic what was seen as an accessory to their champagne. It was at that moment that Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup were created. Each flower is handpicked and undergoes an impressive 18-step process before it reaches its customers.

This edible flower will undoubtedly transform any glass of champagne to a pinnacle of luxury. It is already a hit amongst wedding celebrants and event organisers. Meera Shah, director of Realindulgence.com says, “Gone are the days where people would only pop a bottle of champagne on a milestone birthday or that romantic Valentine’s Day dinner. We are now of a time where our refrigerators have a designated compartment for Champagne. Our Wild Hibiscus Flowers are always the talking point of any occasion. What we have here is that extra touch of opulence – that wow factor!”

According to The Independent, “sales of champagne all around the world are fizzing”. Global demand for champagne is increasing so fast that the French authorities are expanding the areas where it may be produced. Also, Champagne sales in Britain are higher than ever before. It is now only a matter of time before we see this creation of the Hibiscus Champagne cocktail on the cocktail list of our special hangout or at that next wedding reception we RSVP for.

The Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup are available online through http://www.realindulgence.com and delivery is available nationwide. An 11 flower jar is £6.49 and a party size jar containing 50 flowers is £22.50. The unopened jars have a 2 year shelf-life from date of manufacture and can be refrigerated for up to 4 months once opened. For further information call 0845 051 0355.

Online Champagne Delivery is Fast and Easy

Admin — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:46:01 +0000

One of the coolest ways to make your presence felt in a party where you cannot make it to be present physically is to send a bottle of champagne. Just imagine the situation when the party is kicked off with the opening of the bottle of the champagne and applause for the person who has sent it. You will not only be the part of the party but also an object of appreciation and that too without being there.

In order to send champagne to such parties, you can use the champagne delivery service providers. Most of them take order via the Internet. In fact, online champagne delivery has become the norms of the day. Since the Internet is used religiously for almost every purpose in our life, why champagne delivery should be left out it! Use the latest technology to enjoy easy and fast champagne delivery service.

The virtual champagne shops are as rich as the traditional ones. You will have large variety of collections from the famous as well as the regional brands. If there are Grande Marque Champagne such as Veuve Cliquot, Moet, Dom Perignon, Laurent Perrier and Louis Roederrer, then there are also a range of champagne from the small independent producers, like J de Telmont and Raymond Boulard.

Before you ask for online champagne delivery, take a note of the time schedule followed by the service providers. You will be disappointed if you think that the champagne will be delivered as soon as place the order. The service providers cover the whole of the UK; and hence, they want the ordered to be placed one or two days in advance.

Particularly, if there is a holiday in between the day of order and the day of delivery then you have to order for the online champagne delivery two days in advance. This is because the service providers need some time to send the champagne to the ordered address. In between they also take a little time to gift-wrap the bottle of the champagne.

What Sets Champagne Apart From Its Contemporary Still Wines

Admin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:51:28 +0000

You might wonder if champagne is truly a wine, or whether it might be in a category all on its own. Well, the truth of the matter is that champagne is a wine, and it is made with wine grapes. Often times the most common wine grapes used will be Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and a blend of other wine grapes.

The difference that you find in champagne which sets it apart from its contemporary still wines is the second fermentation process that it undergoes to get the bubbles. However not all sparkling wines can carry the Champagne name. If it wasn’t expressly made in the Champagne region of France, then no matter how close in taste you get to a real champagne, it will still be considered a sparkling wine.

That’s why even though you get many champagne-like wines like the Beringer Sparkling White Zinfandel or the Jacob’s Creek Sparkling Rosé, they will always have the words sparkling in their names, or they won’t have the word champagne anywhere near their name.

In truth though if not in fact, champagnes are like any other wine, and they all taste different depending upon where they were made, and the harvest quality of the grapes for that particular year. You’ll also find that as you stroll along champagne’s life’s highway that unlike wines, there is a different categorizing convention in place.

For instance, in the normal course of events you wouldn’t say that you wanted a dry champagne, you would ask for a brut. To that extent here is the naming convention present in the order of champagnes. Extra Brut, Brut, Extra dry, Sec and Demi-sec, with Extra Brut being the driest champagne, and Demi-sec being the sweetest.

Now, just to top it all off, I’ll give you a very short list of some champagnes that are considered to be the very best amongst the entire lot.

These, I have to say, will cost you a pretty penny, and for the most part are used traditionally for celebrations. You might even have seen a bottle of champagne being broken against a ship to christen it on its maiden voyage.

These champagnes are the Piper Heidsieck, Moet & Chandon, Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot, Ponsardin, Laurent Perrier, Bollinger, Krug, and Korbel

The Story of Champagne

Admin — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:45:38 +0000

Champagne is a blended wine that is bottled before the 2nd fermentation takes place for this reason it contains natural carbonic acid. It use to be normal to drink Champagne at dinner time, today champagne is an expensive drink for a sparkling aperitif , we drink a toast to happy beginnings and endings or as Napoleon Bonaparte once said; After victory champagne is what you deserve, after loss you need it.

Label of a bottle of Champagne must contain 8 different points:

1.The name of the wine

2.The producer (the wine farmer)

3.Place of origin

4.Year of publication

5.Elaboré par; the name of the producer who has processed the wine into champagne

6.The name and address of the owner/producer and 2 capital letters, it is an obligation to mention the in letters to indicate if the producer is a wine farmer or a merchandiser.

7.Alcohol percentage, obligated since 1988

8.Statement of the amount, obligated since 1979

Alexander the 2nd didn’t found it suitable that the tsaar family drank the same champagne as the normal citizens so he assigned Champagne house Louis Roederer to produce an exclusive and expensive new Champagne, The Cristal is the result of one of the best Champagnes Champagne House Louis Roederer created in 1876, for 41 years this Champagne was exclusively bottled in real crystal bottles.

The company of Phillipe Cliquot opened its doors in 1772, Veuve Clicquot is a sample of fantastic marketing already 200 years ago. The widow Clicquot-Ponsardin (she once was married with the son of Phillipe Clicquot but he died young) was compelled to take over the champagne business when she was only 28 years old. Together with her teacher in wine, she needed to develop the wine techniques, but she was great in marketing. Nicole Barbe-Ponsardin wanted her label to have the colour of a fresh, healthy chicken egg, one that is fed with corn ; the yellow-orange colour is a world famous, and is a protected as the “Cliquot-orange”.

Veuve Clicqouts speciality is La Grande Dame Rosé, they needed to wait to bear the rich harvest of the year 1988 before La Grande dame Rosé appeared on stage.

Bollinger Grande Année was the result of 3 producers; Jacques Bollinger, Paul Renaudin and the count of Villermont. A large percentage of the grape pinot noir is used an the wine has an extra long ripening process, which stand for stronger flavours. Lilly Bollinger who joined the 3 pact later died young and didn’t had any children, it are Lillys nephews who are continue the family business.

It is 007 or also known as James Bond favourite drink, perhaps not a strange choice if you know that James Bonds character is from the same strong calibre as a Bollinger.

The Cuvée Grande Année is only produced in exceptional wine years. Extremely exclusive is also cuvee Vieilles Vignes Francaises, only in the best years 2000 bottles are made.

Moet a,d Chandon Dom Perignon is the most know champagne, probably every second a bottle of Dom Perignon is opened. Inspite of a high industrial production there is no reason to doubt the qualities of this champagne. Moet is in procession of 768 ha wine yard and produces over 31 million each year. Many years ago they made an appeal to Alfons Mucha, a incredible pioneer of the art Nouveau movement, he made a label of a scantily dressed godess who had to promote the brand name Moet and Chandon.

As a tribute to history of the champagne house the rarest champagnes were fled together in one champagne, this champagne is composed out of 11 different and very remarkable champagnes from 1900 until 1995. Only 323 Magnums were filled, 50 of these Magnums were bricked in Epernay and will be taken out in 2043, when Moet and Chandon celebrates its 300 years existence.
