Step 1: Chill the Wine

Before attempting to SodaStream your wine, ensure it is properly chilled. Refrigerate your wine to the desired serving temperature (typically between 45-55 degrees Fahrenheit).

Step 2: Prepare Your SodaStream

Make sure your SodaStream is clean and securely fastened. Remove any remaining water from previous use.

Step 3: Opt for a Wider Nozzle

If possible, switch to a wider nozzle for your SodaStream machine. This helps reduce overflow and ensures a more even carbonation.

Step 4: Half-Fill the Bottle

Pour the chilled wine into the SodaStream bottle, filling it only halfway. This prevents the wine from bubbling out during the carbonation process.

Step 5: Begin Carbonating

Screw on the carbonating cap tightly, ensuring that there are no leaks. Slot the bottle into the machine and initiate the carbonation process.

Step 6: Pulse Carbonation

To avoid excessive foam, carbonize in short bursts or pulses. Each burst should be approximately one second long, followed by a one-second pause in between. Repeat until you reach your desired level of carbonation.

Step 7: Observe Foaming

Keep an eye on foaming as you carbonate your wine. If you notice any overflowing foam, cease carbonation and let it settle before resuming.

Step 8: Release Pressure Slowly

After reaching optimal carbonation, slowly release pressure by carefully unscrewing the cap. Rapid release could cause excess foaming and result in a mess.

Step 9: Clean Excess Foam

If there’s still foam around the rim of the bottle or on your SodaStream machine after removing pressure, take a moment to clean it before proceeding.

Step 10-Decant Your Wine:

Allow your sparkling wine to rest for a minute before pouring it into glasses. This helps any excess foam to settle, creating an even pour. Use a fresh glass for each pour to ensure the sparkling wine remains carbonated.
