Did you know that a champagne bottle should not make a popping sound when uncorked properly? Or, that a flute is actually not the best type of glass for enjoying champagne? Turns out, there’s a lot to learn about how to select a bottle that will give you a good bang for your buck, open it properly and maximize your enjoyment when drinking it. There’s also a surprisingly long history shared by women and champagne – well, maybe not that surprising, but definitely fascinating! Champagne expert Cynthia Coutu, who specializes in women in champagne, joins Liz in this episode to offer an abbreviated master class in all things Champagne. She offers pro tips for buying and drinking bubbly, explains the early history of women in champagne and talks about how women are still shaking up this male-dominated industry today. Cheers!
