… Champagne has relatively high levels of phenolics compared to white wine, deriving predominantly from the two red grapes, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, which are used in its production along with the white grape Chardonnay. It is these phenolic compounds which are believed to be responsible for the beneficial effects of champagne on the brain.
Not keen on Chardonnay, but not averse to Pinot Noir. I wonder if it would work with Cava?

Sorry, what was the question?
