Apparently to qualify to be actual champagne the drink has to be made from grapes from a specific region of France and thus has a controlled price making it the perceived drink of the wealthy.
Well that's all changed, since now any wine can be turned into a champagne-esque bubbly extravaganza with nothing more than a common Sodastream drinks carbonator.
The Sodastream works by injecting carbon dioxide into a drink through a diffuser, and as the pressure in the bottle increases, more carbon dioxide gets absorbed into the liquid.
The Sodastream units are designed to be used with water, and then have flavour syrups added afterwards. But in this case we are carbonating white wine. It's worth noting that red wine seems to go a bit nuclear when carbonated, so probably best approached with extreme caution. I think the high tannin content probably acts as nucleation surfaces and makes it less stable when carbonated.

Alcohol companies are screaming in horror
Is this video the actual beginning of your carbonation experiments?? The Sodastream device is certainly different than in your leater videos.
What an excellent idea. I could serve Shoreditch twats and they'd never know! 🤣
It's not real Trash Champagne unless it was sodastreamed in Champaign, Illinois.
(Why yes, of course there is an actual Someexistingplacename, Illinois for Champagne, too.)
The simple wine trick that France doesn't want you to know about!
it took only 26sec to make me laugh
Oy! All those Frenchies horrified by the real MacCoy;)
To make it better, put thru round 1 of soda stream then use a pressurized wine saver to hold the carbonization. Refrigerate to let the co2 disolve then run again thru the soda stream.
Fir the viscous "messy" options you can avoid the mess by limiting the amount of co2 each time. More runs with less fizz each time.
Acetylene is only a little less soluble in water than carbon dioxide.
I want to see you make flammable and alcoholic fizzy drinks now 😅
Oh, the sheer joy (of someone like me, who, apart from Port and Sherry, is made sick by wine), of doing this to some really expensive wine. I was wondering if this would work on spirits. Fizzy Gin, anybody?
Do those noises remind anyone else of bath-time?
I Love the food videos
To think my wife made me throw a Sodastream away when we moved.
