Champagne and sparkling wine have evolved from celebration-only drinks to everyday beverages in the twenty-first century. Sparkling wines are now made in every wine region of the world, becoming global favourites in bars, restaurants and even at home.
In this book you will discover the history of the world’s great sparkling wines, from the original French champagne – which remains a symbol of luxury – to the evolution of the sparkling wines of other regions that are now so popular.
Whether you prefer magnums of Cristal or the more affordable thrill of prosecco or crémant, Champagne is an invaluable complement to a glass of bubbly as well as an informative, elegant gift for all wine-lovers.
Becky Sue Epstein is an author and journalist in the fields of wine, spirits, food and travel based in Massachussets, USA. She is the author of many books on wine, spirits and food including Brandy: A Global History (Reaktion Books, 2014).
