Sekt

Sekt is a sparkling wine made by the primary or secondary fermentation of wine or must. This drink is popular for its refreshing bubbles and is stored in glass bottles with a cork or plastic closure that can be ejected by the pressure of the Sekt from the bottle.

The term "Sekt" comes from Germany, where it has been used since the 18th century and refers to various types of sparkling wines. Unlike Champagne, which can only be called wine from the French region of Champagne, Sekt represents a broader category of sparkling wines. Other well-known sparkling wines include crémant, Spanish cava, Italian prosecco, lambrusco, and asti spumante.

Sekt can be made using the traditional method, known as the "méthode traditionnelle," or the Charmat method, where secondary fermentation occurs in pressure tanks. These wines vary in sweetness levels, from dry varieties to sweet ones. Sekts are ideal for festive occasions and as an aperitif.
