Russians in the New Year are accustomed to putting on the table a certain set of dishes - jellied meat, herring under a fur coat, salad Olivier, and from drinks many people prefer champagne. What is the best champagne to choose on New Year's Eve?
On New Year's Eve, people of different incomes drink champagne, these are not necessarily aristocrats, as now there are quite a few budget options for this effervescent drink. Even within a very small amount, you can buy champagne for the New Year. But the main thing is to choose bottles not with a plastic cork, since plastic completely kills the taste of the drink.
In terms of taste, semi-sweet or sweet champagne is best. Typically, semi-sweet champagnes are chosen by Americans and Germans, but 50% of Russians also prefer this kind of champagne. Brut is also very popular - champagne with a minimum sugar content.
Champagne must be drunk according to certain laws and regulations. It must be refrigerated before use. Warm champagne is not at all the drink that should be served at the festive table. The bottle is cooled either in the refrigerator or by placing it in an ice bucket.
A full glass is never poured, always a maximum of half is poured and simply added as needed.
It is important to choose the right champagne appetizer, you need to choose products that do not drown out the taste and reveal its bouquet. Small pieces of cheese and olives are best suited here. You should not eat and eat champagne with chocolate, otherwise you will not feel its taste. They drink champagne very slowly, so toast like "drink to the bottom" in the case of champagne is inappropriate.
