Champagne Fun FactsWHAT? is a sparkling wine produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France following rules that demand sec-ondary fermentation of the wine in the bottle to create carbonation.

HOW MUCH? 360 million glass-es of Champagne will be consumed this Holiday season.

MOST EXPENSIVE? Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck$275,000. Pernod-Ricard Per-rier-Jouet comes in @ $50,000 & Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam is just $40,000 a bottle making Cristal Brut 1990 “Methu-selah” affordable at $17,625.

AVOID THE HANGOVER A bad hangover usually accompa-nies drinking the cheap stuff be-cause the wine maker will add a lot of sugar to make it more drinkable, Both alcohol and sugar dehydrates you, so with cheap sparkling wine, you get a “double-whammy,” he said. -David Speer, Food and Wine Magazine.
