Sexy bubbly from Germany

This week, I want to talk about sekt in the city. Sekt is a German term to describe quality sparkling wine, and I am writing this from Berlin, the German capital.

The word sekt was initially coined in Berlin in 1825. German sekt is mostly made from riesling, pinot gris or pinot noir grapes, and most of the grapes are imported from neighboring nations. Ironically, most of the wine is consumed locally and it might be difficult finding sekt in China. But the effort will be rewarded.

All of the sekt tasted for this column was made from riesling grapes.
