Күн бұрынToday we've got one for fans of the bubbly as sommelier André Hueston Mack returns with another episode of World Of Wine, this time to taste and share his thoughts on 12 sparkling wines. How is sparkling wine made? Which bottles justify their hefty price tags and which ones punch above their weight? With prices ranging from $17 to over $500, André offers tips on how to navigate sticker shock and hone in on what really matters when it comes to getting the most bang for your buck when choosing a sparkling wine.

@@cowsmuggler1646 it's not a sham, there are a seemingly unknowable number of wines, no one has ever tried them all and hypothetically even if they could have, it's impossible to keep them all straight. Even when you get into the tens of thousands of wines, there is always going to be something you haven't had before and a new wine to experience. Even over the course of 5yrs in the industry having tried literally thousands of different wines myself, I know I've only scratched the surface.

Andre needs his own travel show with industry interviews, keep the celeb thing going, show us great wine destinations, and maybe regular reviews with recommendations at various price points. He is very informative, entertaining, and comes across as a dude who really loves wine and his enthusiasm is one of the best parts of his brand.

As a French guy evolving in wines since I was born basically, this series is pure gold, seeing a passionate and honest sommelier who has such knowledge and who is such comfortable and convincing about his job is extremely useful for all people who want to step-up their experience on the topic. And I'm extremely surprised by his speed to detect flavors, he has a great nose for sure.

7:35 South Africa has been making wine since the mid 17th century and has some of the most magnificent wine regions in the world: Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Paarl, etc. are just stunning places to visit for wine lovers - some of our wine farms are older than the most celebrated in Europe. I would love to see more South African wines featured on the channel!

Just say you dislike and discredit him because he’s black. It’s easier if you just own your prejudice instead of hiding behind one tiny critique. If it was a white host slightly mispronouncing ‘terroirs’ you wouldn’t feel the need to comment publicly. As Eterno said, nobody needs (or wants) you here.

The owner rarely imbibed and he actually didn't care if we did that because there were like 15 bottles of Cristal lol but it felt naughty anyway. Some frozen Stoli and Beluga weren't bad either on occasion. Cheers mate.

They used to have a solid team of regular chefs making content for them. Some of them protested and essentially quit because they weren't being paid the same as their white coworkers. They were being asked for their expertise and helping out with content for various, and not being compensated for it, and that was only one of the issues they spoke out about. This channel didn't upload anything at all for about 6 months after. Some of the chefs chose to stay, others left. So naturally people wonder if the company has changed at all. It was pretty sad.
