By storage of sparkling wine on bottom of dam we entered as winemakers on unknown ground. It is necessary to ensure for the sparkling wine the error-free closing of bottles for ageing and to solve technically their untouchability. The sparkling wine stored on the bottom of  Vranov dam is produced traditionally from cultivars Veltlínské zelené (Green Veltlín), Muškát moravský(Moravian Muscadel) and Ryzlink rýnský (Rhine riesling). So created wine is verified combination for production of Lechovice sparkling wine, at his production there is used the method of traditional fermentation in bottle. The sparkling wine ages on the bottom of the dam one year in the depth 40 m, at temperature  5°C and pressure 5 atmospheres.
