by Winemakers exclusively create rosé or white champagne, despite the fact that 2 out of 3 basic varieties for its production are red. So what’s the catch? It turns out that red wines are the least suitable base for sparkling beverages because they are denser, stronger, and tannic, which contradicts the light character of sparkling wines.

A little history
The absence of red champagne on the market is also the result of historically established tastes. Champagne began meaningful production of sparkling wines at the end of the 17th century, when drinks were more valued for their pure taste, light and delicate aroma, rather than power. To meet the tastes of consumers, winemakers had to make considerable efforts. In fact, Dom Perignon became famous precisely because he learned to make the most elegant white wines from red grape varieties. 
Although his fame is ironic.
The monk always aimed to create a good still wine, while the cool climate conditions of Champagne make white varieties prone to “playfulness.” As a result, bottles with such contents would occasionally explode. So, his experiments initially had a purely practical nature—red grape varieties were calmer. Summer is the ideal time for light sparkling drinks! Asti Champagne is just what you need for warm evenings with loved ones and friends. Secret of success
The experiments of Perignon and other talented winemakers made Champagne’s sparkling beverages insanely popular for their festive nature and light, refreshing taste.
Champagne even began to displace traditional aperitif red wine because rumors spread that it had a better effect on the body. 
This success gave Champagne an important trump card in its eternal competition with Burgundy, as it acquired its unique wine style which remains unchanged to this day. Interestingly, winemakers in Burgundy began to produce the exact opposite of champagne—red and astringent sparkling wines. In the range of modern champagne wines, you can find several varieties with a very rich pink shade that may be considered red, but this is, after all, only a visual perception. In the taste of such drinks, there are minimal tannins, so the “light festive” style is fully preserved.
