Discover the real history of Champagne, the legendary sparkling wine from France. In this video, we travel from Roman vineyards and medieval fairs to Dom Pérignon’s cellars, Veuve Clicquot’s bold innovations, and the modern AOC rules that protect the name “Champagne” today.
You’ll see how a cold climate, mysterious second fermentations, stronger glass bottles, and clever widows transformed a simple still wine into the world’s most iconic drink for celebrations. We’ll explore key dates, from the first Champagne houses in the 1700s, to the Champagne Riots of 1911, to the 20th‑century boom that took Champagne to every corner of the globe.
If you love food history, wine culture, and the stories behind what we drink, this episode of Global Plate History is for you. Stay until the end to understand why only sparkling wine from this specific region of France can legally be called “Champagne” and what makes its terroir so unique.
