Champagne: A Global History

The New York Public Library hosts this bubbly-focused lecture by author Becky Sue Epstein (Champagne: A Global History). She'll cover champagne's origins and history, as well as the notable champagne guzzlers who raised its profile over the years (Louis XV and Jay-Z, we're looking at you). Along the way, you'll find out which countries produce top sparkling wine, and gain practical tips on the best storage and serving techniques.
