🍾 Champagne’s Bubbles Were a MISTAKE?! (The “Devil’s Wine” Story) | #Shorts
Pop the cork on this fizzy fact: Champagne’s legendary bubbles were originally considered a FAILED WINE that French monks tried desperately to FIX! 😱 Here’s how a vintner’s nightmare became the world’s most famous celebration drink:
😈 The “Devil’s Wine”:
In 17th century France, bubbles in wine meant poor quality and fermentation errors
Monks called it “vin du diable” (the devil’s wine)
Bottles would explode violently in cellars, causing injuries!
👨🔬 The Accidental Hero:
→ Dom Pérignon, a blind monk, was actually hired to REMOVE bubbles from wine
→ He pioneered stronger bottles and cork stoppers to contain the pressure
→ He never said “I’m drinking stars!”—that quote was invented 200 years later!
🔄 The Status Flip:
English aristocracy loved the bubbles first (they used stronger glass bottles!)
French royalty caught on when Louis XV’s mistress made it fashionable
By the 1800s, it was the ultimate luxury drink
🥂 Modern Champagne:
Today it’s triple the price of still wine from the same grapes
The pressure inside a bottle is 3x car tire pressure!
We pop 38 million bottles every New Year’s Eve 🎉
