It is August fourth, and, according to tradition, on this date in 1693 a French Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon invented the sparkling wine that today we call champagne. The surprising history of sparkling wine deserves to be remembered.

I'm laughing hysterically! I used to work at a now-defunct winery here in PA, outside of Lancaster, and we tried to make sparkling wine one season. Vin du Diable, indeed! "IS SOMEBODY SHOOTING SOMEONE IN THE CELLAR?!" Ah, well. Winemaking is a mix of science and art, and always an experiment. Our experiment failed in a dramatically awesome way.

@lightbox617 Год назад

One of my sons decided to buy a beer making kit. I believe the volume was about 15 gallons in three 5 gallon glass bottles. Put it together, ferment with an airlock then plug it up to "age" for a few weeks. He put the bottles in a dark closest and went off to school. After two weeks, I began to hear, one by one, muffled explosions' every night or so to which I had to respond with a broom, mop and bucket. Not on ever made it

@Nova_Needle Год назад

I'm surprised that a modern day commercial winery would experience bottle bombs like that. As a long time home wine and mead maker, carbonation is a (relatively) simple process of calculating priming sugar for the yeast to ferment, and using non-fermentable sugars for desired residual sweetness. Using proper bottles is also key. Champagne bottles are thick and have big flared corks that still have to be held down with wire for storage. Home makers like me primarily use rated flip top bottles, or beer bottles with a cap press.

A fine custom worthy of imitation by us Americans!

Travel tip from someone who once lived in France: If you want to get ripped off to an embarrassing degree, make sure to go to a tasting or buy your bottles in Champagne itself. You will be so overcharged that when you see how much the stuff costs in any French supermarket 30 minutes away in any direction, you will only wonder how much you'd been laughed at.

@goosenotmaverick1156 Год назад

That's the best travel tip I've ever read. Don't think I'll ever go to France to specifically go to France, maybe if I end up in Europe stop for a day or two, but there are so many other places I'd go first haha. But that was a hilariously put tip. "you'll only wonder how much you've been laughed at" really got me. Tourist traps. Lol

Get there for the 14th of July and join the picnics and fireworks of Bastille Day. I lived in France because it's brilliant. If you go to Europe without visiting France it will be one of the major mistakes of your life.

Love that toast of Lili Bollinger. You didn't mention Veuve (Widow) Cliquot who at age 32 was widowed, and took over her late husband's winery, ending up being the second largest Champagne producer. She kept a firm control over her company , and as she aged became obese as well as taking mny lovers. Quite a character!

@LouisHansell Год назад

Great episode! Thanks so much. This touches on a subject which would be worthy of an entire episode itself. Read "The Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled It" by Tilar J. Mazzeo The widow was an amazing woman whose life ought to be celebrated in feminist studies curriculum. She marries a man whose wealth comes from textiles. Early in their marriage he dabbles in winemaking - and then he dies, leaving her to fend for herself in this winemaking business for which she has no background. She innovates the business and technique of making champagne with several landmark improvements, against a background of Napoleon and his troops marauding one way, and Russian troops crossing westward. In those days champagne was sold 'wholesale', that is, big containers to sites that would sell it in smaller quantities. She creates a label, one that you know today, and thus creates a brand. Departing her estate, Russian officers invented the method of opening a champagne bottle with their swords. The Widow was an amazing woman who deserves to be remembered.

@williammann9176 Год назад

Another great video: A suggestion to go along with this is the different methods of making sparkling wines. I worked as a Product Consultant(know it all, or in some cases think they do, beverage alcohol snobs) for 20 years at the LCBO (Liquor Control Board Ontario) We had a lot of customers who did not know much about beverage alcohol and that was ok. That was one of the reasons for my position, customer education. It was not uncommon for someone to come in and ask for a "good" bottle of Champagne. So I would show them something usually starting at about the $75CAD. They would look horrified and ask don't you have anything cheaper from Spain or Italy. I would say I have sparkling wines from there, but not Champagnes. I would often get the deer in the headlight look as I tried to explain the differences in name and sometimes production method. Mind you some said at the end, ok I will take the Italian Champagne. Mind you I did have some that were fascinated and wanted to learn more. Being a believer in local I always tried to push the local Ontario sparklers both traditional and charmat. I use to say, Ontario Sparkling wines can out champagne Champagne and for a lot less. Thank you again. Another great video. I find your delivery is just as important as the information. Great stuff.

*Fun Fact:* _Reims_ is a strange-looking word, even by French standards. It looks like it might be some sort of loan word from the Dutch or German tribes to the north and east. But according to Wikipedia, the name's pure Latin, coming from the accusative case of the name of the Remi tribe that lived there. The modern French pronounce it to rhyme with the American word _dance,_ or the English word _pants._ (Except, of course, that the _an_ gets nasalised, like the Portuguese letter _ã.)_

"Reims" is pronounced, approximately, "reams". However, it should be said in a very shortened syllable. That is in English, in French it is different, approximately "rance" also very shortened. On wine related subjects, it might be tempting to look at the English influence on popularizing port wine(porto)from Portugal and sherry wine(xérès)from Spain.

No, Reims is not pronounced “reams.” Nor is it pronounced “Ree-ems.” A French word should be pronounced as a French person would say it, but this one is particularly challenging. We have trouble with the ‘R’ sound and the unusual ‘S’ at the end, which is actually pronounced this time.
