ROSE CHAMPAGNE TOO EXPENSIVE-MAKE YOUR OWN

Here’s the secret on how to make your own Rose Champagne at home for the Holidays.

Rose Champagne has skyrocketed in popularity and a French Rose Champagne can be very expensive. That should not stop you and your friends from enjoying a French Rose Champagne. We will give you suggestions on how a rose champagne can be made at your home. To be openly honest, it will not be exactly the same as a rose made at one of the traditional champagne houses. However it could be close.
Go to your local retail wine shop and purchase a bottle of brut or extra dry French champagne. It does not have to be super expensive. A couple that come to mind.( Lanson, Duvay Leroy, Drappier, Nicolas Feuillatte) There are many others priced under $40.00 dollars. You can either blend a full bottle or blend by the glass. We suggest that you purchase a bottle of Bougogne wine or “Burgundy” from France. Because these are 100% pinot noir grapes and those are  the same grapes winemakers in the champagne houses use. Winemakers generally blend 10-15% of still red wine (pinot noir) into the sparkling champagne.  You can experiment with those percentages and use the desired pale pink or salmon color to be your judging point. ( For example 5oz glass of champagne would be blended with approx. 1/2 oz of red wine pinot noir) 
Now that you have had fun bleeding champagne and red wine. To custom your never own rose champagne. Treat your family and friends.
