Get ready to pop the bubbly—no surprise, New Year's
Eve is also National Champagne Day. What better way to ring in 2021 than with a
delicious glass or bottle of champagne? While champagne can be enjoyed at any
time, it is especially popular around this time of year. According to glassofbubbly.com, 33 percent of
champagne sales are made in November and December, and over 300 million bottles
of champagne are produced each year. For those who especially love the
bubbly-ness of champagne, each bottle of champagne has about 49 million bubbles,
due to its double-fermentation process that has helped to create the lovely bubbly
sensation many have come to know and love. Whether celebrating the New Year
with a champagne toast or relishing in an appetizing dinner coupled with a
glass of bubbly, here is a list of five places to savor some champagne in honor
of National Champagne Day.
