What is the wine that marks the special occasions in life?
Public ceremonies or family moments â at any time of year, Champagne is the wine that marks the special occasions in life…
Champagne, wine of christenings. Ship christenings once had ritual and religious significance. The Vikings, for instance, christened their ships with human blood to ward off the evil eye. In the Middle Ages, religious ceremonies were used to mark the completion of new ships. Wine has long been part of this tradition.
Today, at the dawn of the 21st Century, Champagne is how we celebrate lifeâs finest moments. The Bicentennial celebrations of the French Revolution; the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup 98; the Cannes film festival; family birthdays, Christmas, New Year â no celebration is complete without bubbly.
By the late 17th Century, Champagne makers were winning control of the process of effervescence, and the monks had lost their traditional hold on production. Champagne now became the wine of choice for festive occasions.
The late 19th century saw major developments in transportation, especially the rail system, which catered to the growing demand for Champagne. Bubbly, or âChampâ as it was known in the fashionable Paris watering-holes on the Grands Boulevards, was now the drink of the moment.
