Mixing business and leisure like a professional š¾š¬š§
Out here in England doing the very serious work of drinking sparkling wine in pubs⦠for science, obviously. The struggle is real. š
Honestly though, learning more about English sparkling wine has been fascinating. A few fun facts:
⨠England starting making sparkling wine about 20 years before France!
⨠Southern England shares the same chalk soil seam as Champagne
⨠Most English sparkling wine is made using the traditional method (same as Champagne)
⨠Englandās sparkling wine industry has exploded in the last 20 years because of climate change creating warmer growing seasons (climate change is STILL super bad.)
And yes⦠sitting in a cozy English pub with a glass of bubbles absolutely counts as continuing education.
