What kind of grapes are in Champanade™? Ferndale bases Champanade™ on the loacl varieties of grapes. The Labrusca grapes, Niagara's and Concords as well as Elviras and V-blanc are the most common. We also use French hybrids for the red and red/apple. How do you get the alcohol out of Champanade™? We don't! There is never any alcohol in Champanade™. This is a pure juice product. We pasteurize our juice within an hour of crushing the grapes. This kills the natural yeast in the juice thus no further fermentation can occur. We then store the juice at 0° C to further ensure freshness. Most of our competitors produce .05% products which are de-alcoholized, requiring high levels of preservatives giving these products a chemical taste. Is there sugar added? Which flavour is the driest? Which flavour is the sweetest? Regarding the issues of sweetness or dryness, all Champanade™ is about the same level of sweetness give or take a little. From year to year the level of sugar in the grape crop changes. This is why some vintages of wine are better than others. We try to produce a consistent product so the consumer can trust that a bottle of Champanade™ purchased today is the same great taste that they bought last year. We may have to augment a particular flavour with sugar to balance this out to the flavour that consumers have come to recognize. Champanade™ is actually the lowest in sugar of the products currently available in stores nation wide. Our major concern is maintaining a high level of quality control that people have come to trust.
