Hey Aluxers, which is your favorite Champagne in the world? Private community answers here: www.alux.com/question/favorite-champagne-brand-sparkling-wine/ You might want to check our video on James Bond next: ua-cam.com/video/LP5r812NxpE/v-deo.html
Mark Twain said, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” He was known for drinking whiskey/bourbon, not champagne. The quote you used was by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Good video all the same.
01:23 🛁 Marilyn Monroe famously bathed in 350 bottles of champagne, symbolizing the extravagant lifestyle associated with the drink. 02:04 🍸 James Bond, a fictional character, expressed a preference for Tattinger Blonde Blanc brew 1943, highlighting champagne's association with luxury. 02:43 🍾 Rapper Jay-Z bought Armand de Brignac (Ace of Spades) champagne, reflecting the drink's popularity in hip-hop culture. 03:37 🇫🇷 Only sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region of France can be officially called champagne. 04:18 💎 The world's most expensive champagne, "Taste of Diamond," is priced at $2.07 million, known for its luxurious bottle design. 05:12 🍇 The invention of champagne is often mistakenly attributed to Dom Perignon, a 17th-century monk. 06:05 🥂 Dom Perignon significantly improved the champagne-making process, particularly in creating the signature bubbles. 06:47 🍾 A standard champagne bottle can contain up to 49 million bubbles. 07:16 🎈 The pressure inside a champagne bottle can be as high as 90 pounds per square inch, three times more than in a car tire. 08:12 🚢 Shipwreck champagne, like the 200 bottles of 1907 Heidsieck monopole, command high prices due to their unique history. 09:18 🍷 The term "vintage" in champagne refers to all grapes being harvested in the same year, not necessarily indicating superior quality. 10:13 🌍 Globally, there are an estimated 1 billion bottles of champagne in storage. 10:54 🗡 Sabrage, the art of opening a champagne bottle with a sword, is a ceremonial act. 11:22 🍾 The correct way to open a champagne bottle involves a gentle release of the cork, often described as a sigh. 12:45 🎾 Approximately 28,000 bottles of champagne are served annually at the Wimbledon tennis tournament.
Fact number 16: Champagne is a wine before it is mixed with yeast and sometimes sugar then laid to rest for 3 years minimum before it becomes champagne! Therefore a good base wine contributes to a good Champagne. Fact No17: Pay attention to added Sugar or in Champagne language "Dosage"! Proud producers write it bold on the bottle. The best Champagnes are often made by small artisanal family producers which use first press juices ( they often sell 2nd, 3rd, 4th press juices to big cooperates because Big cooperates need to fill their 10s of millions of bottles and so if the "CHAMPAGNE grapes are limited they have no choice but to use anything they get their hands on and to unify the taste mix loads of added sugar). Small artisanal producers sacrifice quantity of their harvest to gain better quality of base juice, by leaving the grapes longer to sweeten by sun naturally . We often don't hear of these small artisanal but truly amazing champagne producers, because they do not have a budget like Moet Chandon to sponsor James Bond movies or pay Roger Federed over $30 Mio or Scarlet Johansen to advertise them. Neither these small champagne houses are bought by Super stars like JZ with high media coverage power. Fact No 18: Small fine family producer Champagne means No Gorilla Marketing tactics. You pay often less to drink much higher quality of wine. Do not fall in the mass marketing trap or you will end up to pay more for less quality. Fact No 19: High Quality Champagne like Good wine should be made from first pressed juice (Cuvee), fresh grapes from designated parcels of vineyard which bring to your taste buds the complex taste of that very soil in which it grew in ( terroir). "" Grapes are limited in Champagne region so producing wines of high quality naturally means reduces quantity. The lower number of bottles produced every year the higher the chance of you getting the real thing and not some sugar packed water deigned and pushed by marketing for those who are clue less. Fact No 20: Smart v Stupid even in Luxury!! Educate yourself because educated people with intelligence survive the blind information of websites like Alux.com A good recent book to read on this topic is: BURSTING BUBBLES: A SECRET HISTORY OF CHAMPAGNE & THE RISE OF THE GREAT GROWERS BY ROBERT WALTERS
Thanks for the informative video on Champagne! You asked about glassware and we are glad you did! Both the coupe and the Flute are famous however not ideal vessels for enjoying Champagne! You should ask for a delicate white wine glass, so as to smell the incredible aromas better and still hang on to those bubbles.
There are 4 main types of wine glasses. Each one benefits the wine in which it is meant to serve in its own specific way. The champagne glass, made with a long narrow glass to keep the aromas and the bubbles at the peak for drinking, white wine glass which is used with most white wines not all. The Burgundy glass (aka red wine) is meant to be served as a red wine glass for stronger red wines typically high in tannins, and then the Burgundy glass, which is made specifically for the wines of Burgundy; Pinot Noir and Chardonnay ( see not all white wines go in a white wine glass), those glasses have a wide bottom bowl to help enhance the delicate aromas and flavors.
Number 3 is wrong, jay-z approached Louis roderer to make a champagne for him, they didn't see jay- z as the type of person they wanted associated with the brand, so they declined his request. He therefore purchased shares in Armand de briniac and made ace of spades.
Great background song, love it! (Joakim Karud Road Trip) May i suggest anything in the likes of Dj Quads? Makes amaying music and perfect for this purpose.
Fact number 3 is incorrect, He tried to do a deal with Louis Roderer to make a champagne on his behalf but they declined, which is why he bought Armand de brignac to say screw you to LR,But yeah ace of spades is garbage.
My connections bugging out, signs of the time, they need to be angry on this one, it helps me to realize my life could be less "high pressure" and opt for a good deal of good fortune, bypassing faith & good sense. Nonetheless, I can't I've never drank moet and if i do, those bubbles would mean the death of my sobriety, its habit forming as the evidense suggest, rather that the RED M would be the Super Villain to my heroic attempts to stay in the budgetary confines of my designated lot in life, Couldn't see myself paying $275,000 for a bottle of, muchless a nice wooden Box of Champagne. The pain is real, but my lord have given me the peace that passeth all understanding, orphanhood and all. 4.7 or 4 to 7 i'm not good with numbers but multiply that by millions and I still wouldn't indulge in excess drinking. Nice to know that many people find happiness in that, even those i admired as a role model, replaced by those I used to "care" in darker times. I am Legend because my life has non, no descriptive caption to explain the signs & symbols, things are never as they seem anyway, who do you say that i am, I just heard., already knew all that matters to is what Jesus says & thats no sham, he already dealt with the pain and the shame is gone too, cause i am, not what they say i am. I am his. sip....ahhhhhhhh btw goodbye Alux it been real
Sam Rana yes pinot noir and pinot meunier are both blue-skinned grapes used in champagne making. You can make clear/clean champagne with those grapes by not having any skin contact
at the end the taste and feeling you get what matters for the money you pay. who ever used or drank it is not the case. there are many facts about spirits but what's the point of drinking any drink if it doesn't give you a taste or feeling to yourself for the money you pay. from hard liqour at least you can get drunk. but spending lots of money on sparkling wine or Champagne what do you get except prestige. think twice before you drop your money on this stuff.
Wow. So many mispronunciations and mistakes throughout this video. It really seems as though someone did less research on the actual subject than searching for stock footage. Kind of a shame. America needs more education about wine. Hate to see wasteful content that leads less enlightenment, and greater misconceptions. If you are interested in learning more about the bubbles, there are several sommelier run channels, there is the Unknown Winecaster, and of course Guildsomm. Far, far better resources. I suppose I can commend "Alux" for trying, though. *shrug*
hello. nice video but could you check real facts before you make a video? there are so many wrong facts in your video that it is so embarringsy for us somaliers! sorry but bad english.

Why is Paul Roger pronounced correctly but Taitttinger is American pronunciation immediately after?
I love champagne 🥂
Is there a video about wine/champagne glass shapes??

nice video. good job alux🖒🍷🍷
Thanks Abhishek!
thank you 🖒
Alux, can you get robots/narrators who can actually pronounce things? Sa-bra-jay? Unless it's written as sabragé, it's pronounced sa-braj.
Champagne region is Northeast. Please correct this.
Number 3 is wrong, jay-z approached Louis roderer to make a champagne for him, they didn't see jay- z as the type of person they wanted associated with the brand, so they declined his request. He therefore purchased shares in Armand de briniac and made ace of spades.

May i suggest anything in the likes of Dj Quads? Makes amaying music and perfect for this purpose.
LOL MÖET CHANDON and Tattinger are both my favorite champange brands
Alux, hire someone to do these videos, Haut is pronounced 'oh' and in dryness levels the most dry is extra brut, then brut, then extra dry and sec
and finally: one doesn't drink Champagne in a flute but in a tulip. Good grief .
I am definitely a purist. Love a fizzy cold flute.
Do a video on sparkly wine
amazing
Who’s also drinking champagne right now while watching? 🍾
Doesn't matter if it's mixed or not as long as it's in the flute :)
Champagne is in the northeast part of France, but close...
Champagne is North East of France not West.
