Champagne from Fruit Wine

4 servings

Ingredients

• Gooseberry or currant wine, after fermentation (as needed)

Instructions

1. Gooseberry and currant wine can be excellently processed into a sparkling beverage, akin to Champagne.
2. To do this, after fermentation, do not transfer them to another barrel, but immediately bottle the wine into strong bottles, securing their corks with wire.
3. This very refreshing drink must be kept very cool.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
