E-Paper Falstaff Special Sparkling 2024

ET: 04.10.2024

DEAR GOURMETS, DEAR CONNOISSEURS!
Sparkling wine is booming - and has been for years. A turnaround is not in sight in 2024 either. This is sensational: while the forecasts for the wine and alcohol market generally look rather gloomy, we still seem to be indulging in the festive moments of sparkling wine enjoyment. We are happy to join in! As the broad selection of topics in this issue shows, it is no longer just champagne that gives us sparkling pleasure. A wide range of high-quality sparkling wines from all over the world now enriches wine shelves, restaurant menus and even our cellars. Whether it's sparkling, uncomplicated Prosecco from the Veneto, elegant Cava from Spain, finesse-rich Crémant from France or characterful sparkling wine from local winegrowers - there is a suitable sparkling variety for every taste and occasion. This year, for the first time, our tasters also took a closer look at non-alcoholic, sparkling wine alternatives for the Falstaff Sparkling Trophy. These sparkling variants have also made a real quantum leap in recent years. Not only in terms of quantity, but also quality. The unifying element of all the products tasted in this issue is the tingling sensation on the tongue, which contributes greatly to enjoyment - whether with or without alcohol. In this issue, we have not only focused on the sparkling wines themselves, but also on the glasses from which we drink them - an absolutely crucial element for sparkling wine enjoyment - or travel destinations that ensure sparkling enjoyment. A great deal has also happened in this area in recent years! With this in mind, we invite you to rediscover the fascinating world of sparkling wines with us and let your mind wander a little. Because we all deserve it.

Have fun and sparkling enjoyment with the new Falstaff Sparkling Special,

Your Wolfgang Rosam
