Celebrate Global Champagne Day

October 28 is National Champagne Day! Around the world champagne enthusiasts will gather in ‘virtual appreciation’ of the Champange wines of France to celebrate the 2nd  Global Champagne Day.

Champagne-The French region of Champagne (comprised of the towns of Rhiems, Epernay and Ay) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity.  Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and winemaking traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. And the name ‘Champagne’ can only be referred to with wines grown in the Champagne region.  Styles of champagne range from the basic brut (often blends of several vintages), single vintage champagnes, and rose.  So pick up one or some bottles of true Champagne and join the global day tasting celebration whether in person or online as we will sip, savor and share.

It’s easy to participate. .. Share your photos, tasting notes, experiences, videos on any social media site.  It  will be “sparkly” fun for sure.
