Behind every celebration is a little champagne fizz, but what do you really know about that bottle you're popping open?
The term Champagne refers to only the sparkling wine made in Champagne France. All other bubblies are labeled sparkling wine or noted as being produced by the méthod champenoise.

Let's simplify the label...
Brut: Dry
Extra Dry: Sweet
Blanc de Blancs: Made completely from Chardonnay grapes
Blanc de Noirs: Made from only Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier
Vintage: The bottle is made up of at least 85% of the grapes from the year it was harvested. These bottles are only made during great harvest years which makes them a bit pricier.
Hosts can count on six flutes per 750 ml bottle.
AE suggests adding bubbles to any occasion, turning any ordinary day into a celebration!
Want to keep the fizz but lose the buzz? AE suggests swapping in flavored sparkling water. We are loving the new flavors by Lacroix. Coconut? Yes, please!
So pop those bottles, it's Friday!!
As always, enjoy responsibly! Xo, AE
