National Champagne Day 2021

Champagne is a drink that is closely associated with celebration, well today is definitely something to celebrate… we’re heading into a new year!

History of National Champagne Day:

We did some research and found out that monks were responsible for the appearance of champagne! Apparently a nearly blind monk from the champagne region of France is credited with discovering the process of wine fermentation as it relates to the weather.

While it first seemed like a mistake, it turned out to be delicious. The year was 1697, this monk’s name was Dom Pierre Perignon, and some champagne is still named after him to this day.

How to Celebrate National Champagne Day:

How convenient that it falls on New Years Eve! It’s time to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate! You can buy a bottle if you’re staying in this evening, but if you’re out partying, treat yourself to a glass!

Thank you for all of your support with What’s On In Kent this year! Happy New Year, we will see you all in 2022!
