True global fame would come 100 years later when it earned a Grand Prix at the 1900 World Fair in Paris, announcing its potential as real competition to Champagne. Today Krimskoye stands as a prized and carefully preserved piece of Ukrainian heritage. As with all grand sparkling wines, Krimskoye undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle and spends a year aging before entering the market as a wonderfully mild, fresh and finely beaded representative of top sparkling wine culture.
