Champagne factoids


Did you know that Champagne is a blend of 3 grapes?
Did you know the pressure in one bottle is equal to the pressure in a tire? That is reason why the bottle glass is so thick and heavy.
Did you know that extra sugar is added to make the bubbles at the end of the process?
And did you know that Napoleon would march his troops to Moet & Chandon cellars before fighting. Seriously! Records exist of his visits to stock up! Love that factoid.
