1. Champagne trivia: The art of sabrage <\/strong><\/h2>

The sabrage du champagne<\/strong><\/a> has its origins with Napoleon’s hussars<\/strong>. After their victories, these cavalrymen used toopen their bottles with their sabres<\/strong> to mark the occasion. <\/p>

Legend also has it that Napoleon<\/strong> himself declared, \u201cIf I win, I deserve it; if I lose, I need it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>

2. A sparkling wine born of chance<\/strong><\/h2>

Contrary to popular belief, Dom P\u00e9rignon<\/a>, a 17th-century Benedictine monk<\/strong>, did not set out to invent champagne. What’s more, at the time, effervescence was perceived as a defect in wine<\/strong>. <\/p>

However, climatic conditions in the Champagne region led to unexpected secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating the characteristic bubbles.<\/p>

This phenomenon, long feared by winegrowers, has now become an unavoidable trademark<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

3. A bottle for the price of a palate<\/strong><\/h2>

In 2013, a bottle of Go\u00fbt de Diamants champagne was sold for the extravagant sum of 1.8 million euros<\/strong>.<\/p>

Created by designer Alexander Amosu<\/strong><\/a>this exceptional bottle features a solid white gold plate adorned with a 19-carat diamond<\/strong>. Although its contents are of exceptional quality, it is above all its luxurious packaging that makes it a priceless piece for collectors<\/strong>. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Mumm<\/strong> has taken up a unique challenge by designing a champagne specially adapted for space travel<\/strong>. Named\u201cMumm Cordon Rouge Stellar<\/a>\u201d<\/strong>, this sparkling wine is served using a device that creates liquid spheres floating in weightlessness. <\/p>

Tested in 2018<\/strong> during parabolic flights, it paves the way for future celebrations in space.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

5.James Bond and his champagne fetish<\/strong><\/h2>

A Champagne anecdote…. James Bond. Although famous for his Martini, Agent 007 is also a champagne connoisseur<\/strong>. <\/p>

Since “Dr. No” (1962), James Bond tasted over 35 bottles of Bollinger. <\/strong> It has become his preferred brand.<\/p>

This long-standing partnership has helped anchor the image of champagne in the world of luxury and cinematic elegance<\/strong>. See also our article on Visit Epernay’s finest cellars<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>

6 Bubbles faster than a sprinter<\/strong><\/h2>

Champagne bubbles rise in the glass at speeds of up to 10 km\/h<\/strong>!<\/p>

Scientific studies have shown that the internal pressure of a bottle of champagne is three times greater<\/strong> than that of a car tire. That’s around 6 bars<\/strong>. Once released, these bubbles play an essential role in the wine’s aromatic explosion. <\/p>

7. Champagne trivia: An incident at the Golden Globes<\/strong><\/h2>

Champagne trivia: At the 2019 Golden Globes<\/strong>, a waiter inadvertently spilled a tray of Mo\u00ebt & Chandon flutes on actress Patricia Clarkson.<\/strong> Far from being offended, the latter took the incident in stride, declaring that she now \u201csmells of success\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>

An unexpected moment that proved that champagne is always a sensation, even when it spills!<\/p>

8. A fountain flowing with sparkling wine<\/strong><\/h2>

In Italy<\/strong>, in the village of Caldari di Ortona, a fountain offers free sparkling wine 24 hours a day<\/strong>.<\/p>

Although it’s not champagne, this initiative was conceived for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela<\/strong>. An original and convivial experience that attracts many curious onlookers. <\/p>

9. The mystery of breast-inspired glass<\/strong><\/h2>

Legend has it that the champagne glass<\/strong> was fashioned in theimage of the breast of the Marquise de Pompadour, Louis XV’s favorite<\/strong>, or Marie-Antoinette<\/strong>. However, wine historians agree that this theory is unfounded. <\/p>

Today, oenologists prefer the flute, as it better preserves champagne’s bubbles and aromas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In 2010, divers discovered a wreck lying off the \u00c5land Islands? The wreck contained 168 bottles of champagne dating back to the 19th century<\/strong>. <\/p>

These bottles, perfectly preserved under water thanks to ideal pressure and temperature conditions, revealed a surprisingly intact taste. Some of them were sold at auction for over \u20ac30,000 each.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
