The Francelator's tips

  • Did you know that there are about 50 million bubbles in every bottle of champagne? And they’re all delicious! The first time Dom Perignon tasted the bubbly beverage, he said it was like “drinking the stars.”

  • The region of Champagne is the only place in the world where the wine champagne can be produced. While many other areas make sparkling wine, if you’re drinking the real thing, it came from this region!
