Is it the good harvest, the tasty "Bubbly" or...?
Champagne is a sparkling wine produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France and must follow the rules that demand second fermentation of the wine in the bottle to create carbonation. The mysterious circumstances during the 18th century about the then unknown process and effects of fermentation and carbonic gases caused some critics to call the sparkling wine "The Devils Wine". Dom Perignon was initially ordered to get rid of the bubbles since the fermentation process in the bottle caused the bottle to explode in the cellar. Champagne first gained class distinction of its association with the French kings, royalty throughout Europe spread the message of the unique sparkling wine from the Champagne region in France and it's association with luxury and power. Leading champagne vintners created history and identity for champagne associating themselves with royalty and nobility, their efforts coincide with the emergence of a middle class that was looking for way's to spend it's money on symbols of upward mobility.
