Where does Champagne come from?

By: Tania Machowska

Champagne is a strictly French sparkling wine, sparkling wine only points out that it is a wine with bubbles of carbonic acid. Epernay is the head city of the Champagne area, under ground are more then 200 million of bottles champagnes storage in rows of 100 kilometres.

Other regions were allowed to ues the term 'méthode champenoise' which means made by traditional method, but that is already some time ago, Spain has Cava, Germany Sekt and Italy provides Prosecco and Spumante. South Africa Cap classic, United States and Australia sparkling wine.

Kir Royal is named after the brave French Kanunnik Félix Kir (1876-1968), he helped 5000 French prisoners of war to escape out of concentration camps. He was caught and condemned to death, but the judges were so impressed that they reprieve him mercy. Kir remained supporting the resistance, he was shot later but he survived.

After the liberation he became the mayor of Dijon, from 1945 until 1967. Those days blanc-cassis drinks were served in cafés. Kanunnik Kir made his Kir Royal, instead of wine and crème de cassis he used Champagne.

The best champagnes are from Roederer Cristal, Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame, Bollinger Grande Année, Moet & Chandon Dom Pérignon. These champagnes go back from 1743, they are known as the best and most interesting champagnes.

Moet & Chandon organized together with Ferrari an exclusive party to celebrate the birthday of Ferrari 250 GTO together with his owners and drummer Nick Mason from Pink Floyd. It is a regular party that is organized every 5 years but this time Moet & Chandon created an exclusive vintage champagne case especially for this occasion, it was made out of leather and includes 2 bottles of vintage champagne 2000, a wine cooler and of course 4 crystal champagne flutes.
