Review:
This wine was super hard to find a review of-- I am assuming it is a new wine from Lidl. I am not even sure if this wine is from 2022 because there is not a year on the bottle. From what I did find on vinio.com from the same champagne, but different year, is that this wine has "decent sparkling" and a "longer finish". This is a brut sparkling wine.

Wine Folly:
Brut sparkling wines tend to be on the dryer side since brut is french for dry (pg. 99). This wine was definitely a lot lighter than normal, but this was my first sparkling wine! This is because the carbonation decreases the body of the wine (pg. 14).
My Review:
So, I got a job! And over spring break, my family has been hanging a lot and we really wanted to try this sparkling wine! This being said, I did not enjoy it very much and I think that it was because it is a brut wine. I like how there are some subtle hints of sweetness, but it is not enough in my opinion for a celebratory/dessert type wine. Overall, I would probably try a sparkling wine in the future! Maybe graduation.... ;)
