Golden bubbly a cork popper

When David Atkinson told the Perth Mint he could put gold flakes in wine he had no idea what he was getting himself into. “We said ‘yes’ and at that stage I had no idea how to do it,” said the Swan Valley winemaker who has since spent 10 years perfecting the art of making gold-infused wine. While gold-infused sake exists in Japan and liquers made with gold flakes are available in Germany, David Atkinson believes Janebrook is the only winery in the world that makes sparkling wine with that golden sparkle, reports ABC Rural.
