We have shifted the focus from the machine to the man and the feeling, as natural as the fermentation of the Pét-Nat, is more appropriate than a cold, machinal interpretation. In this version, the Pét-Nat, the theme is the nervous young pilot before his first flight.

It is because of this process that these wines have a carafe instead of a cork closing the neck.Ĭhipmunk brand wines are recognized by the airplane on the label. In this process, the fermentation creates natural gas inside the bottle and the result is a fresher, more festive wine. Thus, the fermentation of the natural sugars takes place inside the bottle. Unlike the more common method, where the wine ferments in vats or barrels waiting to be bottled, in Pét-Nat the wine is bottled before the first fermentation is complete. Pét-Nat is an ancient method of producing effervescent wines. Chipmunk PET NAT celebrates this moment of exhilarating nervousness. The 40 pilots he taught to fly had in common, as any young pilot, the desire for the first flight, with fear and doubt, and then with great joy. He taught over 1800 flight hours, about 10,000 landings, and trained 40 new pilots until he retired and dedicated himself to his second passion, wine.Ĭhipmunk was the first plane I flew in, and so this brand pays tribute to this faithful flying companion.

The producer of Chipmunk wines was an instructor in the Portuguese Air Force.
