Red wine vs Sodastream. (Without repainting your ceiling.)

When it comes to carbonating red wine, there's a right way and a wrong way. The wrong one will literally spray bright red wine EVERYWHERE!
Here's the right way to do it.
Make sure the wine is well chilled. Add ice if needed - the colder the better.
Carbonate in the Sodastream, but don't release the pressure suddenly.
Release the pressure VERY SLOWLY, allowing the foam to settle before letting more gas out.
Once the pressure is released, enjoy your sparkling red wine.
Some wines take carbonation better than others. Chilling is important.
Cheap red and white wines can be made very enjoyable when given the champagne treatment.
Keep the carbonated wine in the plastic bottle. Don't put it back in the glass bottle in case the pressure breaks it. Remember that sparkling wine is more potent than unfizzy wine.
Please note that Sodastream only recommend that water is carbonated in their machines, so you do this at your own risk. I occasionally fill a bottle to the brim with water and deliberately purge it through the safety release valve to clean it. That's not recommended practice though.

This also keeps the channel independent of KZbin's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

I looked it up. CO2's solubility in ethanol is an order of magnitude greater than in water. The details are behind an Elsevier paywall, so I'm not sure what that means for fizziness. There isn't going to be much carbonic acid created without sufficient H2O, I would think.

[@redracerb18]

[@Markle2k]

@@redracerb18 That isn't something I am disputing. I'm just curious about how much of the CO2 would stay dissolved when Henry's Law kicks in after the partial pressure of CO2 above the liquid goes to 1 atm. The reduced quantity of water is going to mean less of an acidic content, not that you might be able to taste anything when sipping 190 proof (I've tried it, it tastes like burning). In addition, the alcohol's affinity for water could prevent the H20 from reacting with the CO2 to create H2CO3. It is a worthy experiment.

I know somebody who has owned vineyards and refuses to chill even her white wines, saying it's a disgrace to the flavours. Americans chill their beer excessively because they'd otherwise taste like shit (they mostly still do!) Refrigeration is a great way to hide unwanted flavours, which is easier than manufacturing a good tasting product to begin with.

[@TheJohn8765]

But... chilling prevents the body from opening up and suppresses many of the flavours. Red wine is much better when lightly cool (12-16 c). 4c (fridge temp) is legit making the wine worse.

For ingredients that are too foamy, I wonder if simethicone might help. The main ingredient in Gas-X here in the US is simethicone, an anti-foaming agent. It doesn't actually prevent the formation of gas, but it does encourage small bubbles to form larger bubbles, making it easier to burp the gas out of your stomach before it enters the intestines. Of course, Gas-X has other ingredients in it that you probably don't want in your drink.
