| Champagne is made from both white and black grapes. Champagne has its greatest endorsement in Napoleon's words: 'I drink Champagne when I win, to celebrate ... and I drink Champagne when I lose, to console myself.' The association of champagne with opulence actually started as a brand positioning strategy in 1866, courtesy champagne maker Moet. The Treaty of Madrid and later the Treaty of Versailles protects the word 'champagne' to exclusively mean sparkling wine produced only in Champagne, France. Nebuchandnezzar might have been a mighty Babylonian king, but his name is more famous as denoting the largest quantity of champagne serving, which is 20 bottles. There are 49million bubbles in a regular champagne bottle. The more minute the bubble, the better is the champagne quality. |
