How to make champagne
There are a few key things you need to remember when making champagne. First, use a good quality wine. Second, use a clean bottle. Third, use a champagne yeast.
The quality of the wine you use is important because champagne is a sparkling wine and the bubbles come from the fermentation process. If you use a poor-quality wine, the bubbles will be small and the champagne will be flat.
The bottle must be clean because any dirt or residue will affect the fermentation process and the drink will be cloudy.
The yeast is important because it is what causes the fermentation. There are many different types of champagne yeasts available, but it is important to use this particular yeast because it is designed to work well with sparkling wines.
