[edit] history of sparkling wine

The 'evidence' of sparkling wine being first discovered in Britain is misleading and that line should be clarified. Wine was not usually bottled at source back then, and the bottles that became sparkling were still French wines from Champagne that were being bottled carelessly in Britain. Simultaneously, other producers were in Champagne were also finding that their wines were becoming sparkling, and Dom Perignon's original mission was to try and prevent Champagne wines from becoming sparkling. To describe how sparkling wines were first discovered, there needs to be detailed explanation of the climate and choice of grape varieties being used in Champagne, the cold temperatures and stop ferments and then subsequent warming up and mishandling of the wines, as well as the role played by the discovery of cork bark-based stoppers and improved methods of producing glass bottles. If I get the chance I will attempt to correct these mistakes myself.

The whole article really needs improving; it is not up to scratch. I recommend reading the changes I made to the Champagne Krug article, and trying to bring it up to that standard. Terroiriste 12:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moët et Chandon

As Dom Pérignon is the luxury cuvée of Moët et Chandon, would it not make more sense for this to be combined with the Moët et Chandon page? If I recall correctly, the first vintage of Dom Pérignon Rosé was shipped to the Shah of Iran. There is also the cuvée oenethelique which are older releases of Dom Perignon. I do not know whether these are recently disgorged or not.Fmh1964 18:07, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I think the notability of the wine alone makes it worthwhile to have its own page with a link to the Moet et Chandon page. It is similar to the Ford Mustang having its own article apart from Ford Motor Company or the iPod article being separate from Apple Inc. Agne^Cheese/^Wine 21:56, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
