: From the smash of a bottle on the side of a new ship to the pop of the cor :
: at a New Year's Eve party champagne signals celebration, fun, and          :
: camaraderie all over the world. Bubbly, as we affectionately call it, is a :
: symbol of luxury and decadence and the go-to drink whenever there is an    :
: important toast. This history from Becky Sue Epstein is a celebration of   :
: the world's most celebratory drink. Here, Epstein chronicles champagne's   :
: story, from the world's first sparkling wine, produced in Limoux,          :
: Languedoc, in 1531 by monks at an abbey in Saint-Hilaire to the celebritie :
: who made champagnes famous and continue to do so today-- from Dom Perignon :
: to the widow Veuve Cliquot. Most important, Epstein fully explains the     :
: distinction between champagne and sparkling wine. In this informative      :
: chronicle, she answers whether French champagne is really better than othe :
: sparkling wines and elucidates the science behind that characteristic fizz :
: and bubble. She takes the reader on a tour of vineyards in wine regions    :
: around the world and teaches the correct techniques for storing and servin :
: champagne and sparkling wines. Whether you prefer magnums of Cristal or th :
: affordable thrill of Cold Duck, Champagne is an invaluable complement to   :
: any bubbly glass and an informative, elegant gift for connoisseurs,        :
: beginners, and wine lovers of all kinds.                                   :
