Learn the process! Once you know the method, the wine label becomes instantly comprehensible and navigable. Find out why champagne costs what it does. Find out why everything that sparkles is not champagne. Discover how Dom Perignon, Veuve Cliquot, Brother Jean Oudart and Madame Pommery helped to craft the style of wine that has become the universal beverage of celebration, wealth, royalty, and privilege.
