Anyone else like red champagne?

The only place that has it that I know of is Korbel Winery north of San Francisco. Well, it’s “California Champagne,” but it’s pretty good.

I love champagne vinegar.

Red sparkling wine. It is not champagne.

I haven't had a good one but I have enjoyed a few sparkling rosés.

Is that the same as Cold Duck? Because I love that, but haven't seen it for sale in a long time.

I like red wine but champagne gives me a headache.

You got me curious because I live in Wine Country. Haven't ever heard of a Red sparkling wine, only roses. Are you sure that Korbel makes a Red one and not a rose? Some of the roses here are made from Pinot Noir ("Penis Noir" as my partner calls it) grapes. A Google search shows some true Red sparkling wines come from Australia. Some local roses from here... "Sonoma Wineries for Sparkling Wine (White & Rosé focus) Most Sonoma wineries focus on white and rosé sparkling wines, using Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes." Top producers include:

J Vineyards & Winery Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards Iron Horse Vineyards Inman Family Wines Harvest Moon Estate & Winery Breathless Wines

Cold Duck is what parents let us kids drink during Holidays. I'd still drink it if no one was watching, and I had a functioning liver, lol. A deep red sparkling wine does not sound appealing to me at all, but whatever floats your boat!

Banfi is the only one that I'm familiar with, and it's been a while since I've had it.

Champagne only comes from Champagne
