It is holiday time and quite a few people have a glass or two of champagne during this time. From the duo at the WSJ, here are some answers to some frequently asked questions about champagne. Also, here is a fact that is not in the article. A lot of what champagne is today is owed to women, specifically widows. The word "veuve" in French means widow as in "Veuve Clicquot", but she is not the only one. Have you ever tried Bollinger, Veuve Laurent-Perrier or Pommery? All wonderful champagnes that were transformed by women after their husbands died and the wives decided to head up the business.
