SOYOUWANNA KNOW SOME TRIVIA ABOUT CHAMPAGNE?

• One of the most famous and esteemed types of champagne, Dom Perignon, is named after the good Benedictine monk who presided over the wine cellars at the Abby of Hautvillers in 1688. He was one of its chief promoters at a time when the bubbles that appeared in champagne were originally thought to be an imperfection. Dom Perignon excelled at combining various wines to create the ultimate blend.
  
  
• Long before champagne had bubbles, it was a still wine and was considered one of the best in France.
  
  
• One of the primary grapes used in the making of champagne is Pinot Noir, which is a red (or black) variety of grape. The interior of a Pinot Noir grape, however, looks very similar to a green grape. When its juice is extracted, therefore, it will look the same as a white wine. Thus, much of the finest clear champagne in the world comes from red grapes.
