Countdown to the big party
"Most people need only to know that they are drinking Champagne to be happy." (NYT on low price, quality champagnes)
Damn right. It doesn't have to be from France.* It doesn't have to be served in a flute. In fact, it doesn't even have to come in a bottle, and it could be drunk with a plastic bendy straw.
*Though of course, dahling, if it's not from the Champagne region of France, it's not Champagne--it's "sparkling white wine." Raise your hand if you first learned this from watching the Quentin Tarantino movie Four Rooms as a teenager.
