When it comes to carbonating red wine, there's a right way and a wrong way. The wrong one will literally spray bright red wine EVERYWHERE!
Here's the right way to do it.
Make sure the wine is well chilled. Add ice if needed - the colder the better.
Carbonate in the Sodastream, but don't release the pressure suddenly.
Release the pressure VERY SLOWLY, allowing the foam to settle before letting more gas out.
Once the pressure is released, enjoy your sparkling red wine.
Some wines take carbonation better than others. Chilling is important.
Cheap red and white wines can be made very enjoyable when given the champagne treatment.
Keep the carbonated wine in the plastic bottle. Don't put it back in the glass bottle in case the pressure breaks it. Remember that sparkling wine is more potent than unfizzy wine.
Please note that Sodastream only recommend that water is carbonated in their machines, so you do this at your own risk. I occasionally fill a bottle to the brim with water and deliberately purge it through the safety release valve to clean it. That's not recommended practice though.

    IF you cannot afford sodastream, get a chilled glass, 1/3 cup ice, 1/3 strong wine, 1/3 fresh pop. Ohh dont let it fizz carefully pour. Im wondering what happens if you use regular shop air to carbonate liquids.

    I got a sodastream art and it doesnt 'fart'. It lets the pressure out slowly and continuously so you cant build the pressure up. Booo! You cant control the foam from bubbling up either unfortunately.

    When I was younger I made wine spritzer from sparkly water and cheap red wine. My favourite wine was named Tollo Rosso – it was indeed cheap, and one of the meanings of "tollo" in Finnish is a fool so that was like made for me.

    This is basically like an alternative way to make a red wine spritzer. The popular white wine spritzer is made from white wine and fizzy water but I imagine this would create a acceptable spritzer too. They also make good sparkling red wines pre-bottled like Lambrusco (Italy) sparkling Shiraz (popular in Australia), Brachetto Dโ€™Acquie (Italy), and finally Gragnano (Italy), said to be the perfect Pizza wine. As you can see Italy seems to have perfected Sparkling red wines.

    I won't lie, I was expecting the end of this video, after all the care taken releasing the pressure slowly, to be a sip, followed by spitting it out everywhere and saying it tasted awful.

    First I watch a video "I wonder what this guy's face looks like". I see his face with a hat on (fedora? Heck idk). Then I ask myself "I wonder what this dude's hair looks like". The mysteries keep unraveling.

    I'm considering purchasing a sodastream while they are on sale. I'm doing some research on them and ran into this beautiful video. I'm glad I can fuel my alcoholism with the device I am buying to make water that's preventing me from drinking so much alcohol. It's just good to know. I'm not sure I have the finesse to not lose my security deposit on a new ceiling color though, so I might just only do this if I am going to this man's house

    hm, why do I feel "repaint ceiling" is talking from experience and days of cleanup last time trying ? ๐Ÿ˜‰ Wonder why sodastream is NOT reccomending red wine… hm ๐Ÿ˜‰
