Champagne semi-sweet

Raising glasses of champagne and making wishes with the first chimes for the New Year is a relatively recent tradition in Russia. But when she showed up, it's pretty hard to say. According to some sources, in the early 60s of the 20th century, the USSR government decided to provide each family with at least one bottle of Soviet champagne on New Year's Eve. Probably, since then we have been making a cherished wish after a sip of an effervescent drink.

A little more history: champagne got to Russia under Peter the Great. Then this drink of the French kings was famous for its reputation as the most prestigious and expensive wine. Among the Russian nobility of the 18th and 19th centuries, the elite French champagne brands Veuve Clicquot, Louis Roederer and Moet & Chandon were especially valued. All these brands owe their heyday to Russia - by the end of the 19th century, this country had become the largest global consumer of champagne.

To date, the use of champagne and other sparkling wines in our country is still global. Among the most popular varieties of this delicious drink, the leading position belongs to champagne semi-sweet, and this is nothing strange. High-quality semi-sweet champagne will be distinguished by a pleasant taste, an attractive pale straw color and an unforgettable aftertaste.

Of all types of this grape drink, this product is characterized by the highest nutritional value - the calorie content of semi-sweet champagne is about 88 cal per hundred grams. This is due to the increased content of sugars that are present in the starting material. However, such a calorie content of semi-sweet champagne is considered low in comparison, for example, with the same liqueurs or dessert wines, so it can be consumed in sufficiently large quantities without fear of consequences for the figure.

Champagne semi-sweet is not only an excellent light drink in terms of taste, which is usually consumed as an independent product or in combination with fruits or cheeses. It is also used to make a variety of cocktails, adding a note of playfulness and a pleasant aftertaste. In addition, many hostesses make delicious desserts, multi-layered jellies, sorbets and other exquisite treats based on champagne semi-sweet.
