Lesson details

The final influence a winemaker has on champagne is the dose - the injection of sugar into the liquid solution. Depending on how much sugar is added depends on the sweetness of the champagne. Did you know that in the 1700s when champagne was made for the Royal Palace and the Kings and Queens of France, winemakers would use somewhere between 280-300g of sugar per liter?
