Whether you’re celebrating your graduation, engagement, new job, your best friend’s wedding, or New Year’s Eve at the stroke of midnight, your festivities likely have several things in common; happiness, friends, family and… Champagne.
Before we let you know what Champagne means to us, let’s clear up any confusion; For wine to be called ‘Champagne’ it must be produced in the Champagne region of France, and the grapes used for the blend have to be grown in that same region. Also, Champagne must be produced according to a very particular method. Without any of these characteristics, it’s just sparkling wine!
Champagne’s popularity can be traced back to the French courts, where it was the primary drink served at coronation banquets and other special occasions. It also became commonplace for French monarchs to gift European royals bottles of wine from Champagne.
