History of Champagne wine<\/h4>\n

Champagne wine from Champagne, a French region northeast of Paris. A land of wine culture since the Gallo-Roman era, gained fame for its quiet wines (non-sparkling) in the Middle Ages. In 1670, Dom P\u00e9rignon, a monk from the abbey of Hautvillers, created a sparkling champagne wine that began to seduce the royal courts, notably that of Louis XV. The first champagne houses were created at the beginning of the 18th century. Ruinart being the first created in 1729 and champagne sparkling wine massively took on Europe in the early 19th . Its spread around the world followed the growth of trade. It was not until the 20th century that champagne became the festive drink for special events. Click For more information<\/a><\/p>\n
