But that’s been dropping since years ago. It had a peak at the end of COVID-19 but that was it
Champagne is wonderful since it stays fresher than an open bottle of white wine for longer.
Wine lasts a day at best, champagne can last 3 days.
Not really. Champagne needs to have carbonation. Like your bottle of coke carbonation starts leaving the solution whenever it’s opened. This proceeds within a closed of bottle, too (hence why the last glass of coke out of a bottle that’s been sitting over a day is almost flat.
Both beverages do oxidize. The CO2 leeching from your champagne will protect it from most of the ill effects. However you can vacuumize your wine bottle, and due to it getting flat, this doesn’t work with the champagne.
So technically your campagne doesn’t oxidize, however it loses it’s sparkle. With a champagne stopper you can mitigate this effect, just like you can mitigate oxidation by vacuum in a regular bottle.
Without these special stoppers you can keep both wines for three days, the white wine under the cork, the champagne resisting attempts to re cork, due to CO2 pressure.
They will both not be as good as unopened after the days. For different reasons.
Do what I do, get three bottles of cheap champagne, label them “Trump”, “Putin” and “Musk” respectively, and when one of these dickheads die you pop the respective bottle and have a toast.
Get more bottles as needed.
I had a bottle of brandy made in “Crimea, Ukraine”, for when the Putin dies. Doesn’t help the fact that my wife poured out all the alcohol when we were arguing about its consumption, but at least I had a plan.
It’s the thought that counts. My Putin expiration celebration will actually also be alcohol free, but it’ll taste just as sweet.
Heh. I may or may not already have those three.
I’m not excited for anyone to die, but I really want to know, on my deathbed, that I outlived those three.
I tell myself it has something to do with knowing I contributed positive change to the world for longer than their negative, but I realize it’s probably just my pettiness.
And it’s very overpriced and Prosecco is nicer.
Cava or crémant will do nicely too
And Asti (just don’t buy Martini Asti). And Spumante, and a lot of other stuff
