About wine; sparkling

HS code 220410 covers the classification of sparkling wines, a highly valued and globally traded commodity. The sparkling wine industry plays a significant role in the broader alcoholic beverages sector, contributing to both domestic and international trade. Sparkling wines are renowned for their unique production methods, distinctive flavors, and association with celebrations and high-end dining experiences.

Production process

The production of sparkling wine involves a complex and meticulous process. It typically begins with the fermentation of grape juice, followed by a secondary fermentation that traps carbon dioxide within the bottle, creating the signature effervescence. Winemakers employ techniques such as the Méthode Champenoise or the Charmat process to achieve the desired level of carbonation and flavor profile.

Production inputs

The production of sparkling wine requires several key inputs, including high-quality grape varieties, specialized equipment for fermentation and bottling, and skilled labor. Winemakers often source grapes from specific regions known for their suitability for sparkling wine production, such as Champagne in France or Prosecco in Italy. Additionally, the process requires specialized equipment like pressurized tanks, riddling racks, and disgorging machines to ensure the proper handling and maturation of the wine.

Production outputs

Sparkling wines produced under HS code 220410 are primarily consumed as luxury beverages, often associated with celebrations, fine dining, and social gatherings. These wines may be further classified under other HS codes, such as 220421 Wine; of fresh grapes, incl. fortified wines, sparkling or 220429 Wine; of fresh grapes, incl. fortified wines, other than sparkling.
