Champagne, Read it and Love It

Champagne, the elixir and all-round choice for celebration, can it also be worthy of a book? Yes is the answer and the book is Champagne; How the World’s Most Glorious Wine Triumphed Over War and Hard Times. The authors Don & Petie Kladstrup take you on a historic ride filled with anecdotes and insights.

Although Napoleon was a teetotaler his secretary was quoted saying, “a single glass was enough to restore his strength and produce cheerfulness of spirit”.
Napoleon himself said,” In victory you deserve it, in defeat you need it.” Prepare yourself for anything and chill a bottle.
