In the Traditional Method of sparkling wine production, what is the name of the final step where the final sweetness is determined by adding a mixture of wine and sugar to the bottle?

  • A. Tirage
  • B. Dosage
  • C. Riddling (Remuage)
  • D. Disgorgement (Dégorgement)

Critical Answer & Explanation

Answer: B. Dosage Explanation: Dosage is the final perfecting touch of traditional method production. After Disgorgement (removing the yeast sediment), the missing volume is topped up with a liquid called Liqueur d'expédition—a blend of wine and sugar. The amount of sugar added at this stage determines whether the final wine is labelled Brut (dry), Demi-Sec (medium-sweet), or another sweetness level.

Pass-Guarantee Tip

[Trap]: Do not think the sweetness is decided during Disgorgement. Disgorgement is solely about 'Removal' of sediment. The actual sweetness is set during the subsequent 'Dosage' step. [Tip]: Link 'Final Sweetness' or 'Liqueur d’expédition' to 'Dosage'. It is the last chance for the winemaker to shape the wine's character.
