International Champagne Day is more than just an excuse to enjoy bubbly; it's a celebration filled with history, culture, and millions of bubbles of joy.

🥂 Why Champagne?

Champagne is a symbol of celebration, victory, and sophistication. It's opened at weddings, award ceremonies, graduations, and many other exciting occasions. It has long transcended geography, but true champagne can only be produced in the Champagne region of France and only according to the strict method known as the champenoise method.

📜 A Little History

Although sparkling wines existed before, it was the monk Dom Pérignon who perfected production methods in the 17th century, giving the world that same flavor and burst of bubbles. Champagne quickly became the favorite drink of the European aristocracy, and later, the entire world.

Why October 23rd?

International Champagne Day is celebrated on the fourth Friday of October, and in 2025, it will fall on October 23rd. This day was established as an international initiative of winemakers and champagne enthusiasts to pay tribute to the drink that has accompanied the most important events in people's lives for centuries.

🍇 How to celebrate?

Here are some ideas for celebrating International Champagne Day:

Host a tasting: try different varieties-brut, extra dry, rosé, or vintage champagne.

Learn to open a bottle like a pro-quietly, without a "shot," because true connoisseurs know: "A man opens champagne without waking a woman."

Make cocktails: mimosas, bellinis, or French 75s.

Pair with food: champagne pairs perfectly with oysters, soft cheeses, strawberries, and even... French fries!

💡 Fun fact

A bottle of champagne contains about 49 million bubbles! And by the way, the finer the bubbles, the higher the quality of the drink.

International Champagne Day is a great excuse to slow down, raise a glass, and savor the moment. Because life is too short to drink bad wine.

Happy holidays! 🥂
