Sekt Sekt

Sekt - Definition and Overview

Sekt is the German term for sparkling wine. It may be made by the same method as Champagne or by the tank method.

Historically much sekt was made at least partially from imported grapes; it can only be labelled as Deutscher Sekt if it is made exclusively from German grapes.

Some very good examples are made, often using the riesling grape, but much of it is cheap and drunk locally rather than exported.
