WASHINGTON — The fifth annual Champagne Day occurs on Friday, October 24, where wine lovers around the globe raise a flute to the quintessential wine of celebration, good cheer and toasts everywhere: Champagne. Not only will there be terrific opportunities for Champagne lovers to celebrate in retail stores, restaurants, bars, but also in spontaneous gatherings with friends. Champagne Day was initially created by wine bloggers to recognize and appreciate the sparkling wine that comes exclusively from Champagne, France. Today, it brings millions of wine lovers worldwide together to celebrate in a host of events, retail opportunities and a large-scale online celebration of all aspects of this unique bubbly.
“Champagne, often the choice for our special occasions, is a wine that evokes merriment, laughter and enduring memories when enjoyed among friends and family,” said Sam Heitner, director of the Champagne Bureau, USA. “Champagne Day offers the perfect opportunity to pop open a bottle and explore the unique qualities these wines have to offer, remembering that while quality wines are made all over the globe, Champagne only comes from Champagne, France.”
