We all know why Champagne is great. Like how we know each Louis Roederer wine is definitely something we should all try, such as their
N.V. Louis Roederer Champagne Brut Premier [BUY NOW].
Champagne is amazing in all sorts of ways. A research by University of Reading and spearheaded by Professor Jeremy Spencer made waves after it shared the results of studying the effect of this fine wine. With compounds assisting in improving spatial memory, Champagne can help fight of certain illnesses such as dementia. In fact, this drink is high in antioxidants — polyphenols in particular — which aids in lowering blood pressure. A fun way to take care of your heart, if we may say so.
If a perfect way to unwind is what you want, then look no further. The mesmerizing manner of how bubbles rise up has a calming effect similar to doing different kinds of yoga poses. So buying two bottles of
2006 Louis Roederer Champagne Brut Nature [BUY NOW] is exactly the same thing minus the awkwardness at every pose.
Indulging to Champagne cravings is also a guilt-free affair. Comparing it to red wines which as 100 calories per 120ml glass, a glass or two [the same ml] of this fine bubbly drink may only contain 90 calories. Take that diet snobs.
After hearing all of these, then why is Champagne drinking limited and associated to very specific occasions? As we wrote before, almost everyone has this perception of Champagne and celebrations going hand in hand. People instantly think of getting Champagne for that special event. For birthdays? Champagne. For weddings? Champagne. But really, why?
One clever answer to this might be the fact that uncorking this wine is a spectacle itself. The use of saber, like the well-designed Champagne Saber from Vagnbys [BUY NOW], to open a bottle is always an exciting sight to see. Another reason is that a glass of this drink adds a touch of finesse, elegance, and fanciness in just one pour. It has this appeal to transform something average into an extraordinary experience.
At the end of it all, perhaps Champagne has a noble cause to implicitly add happiness that is not easily described. But the concept of drinking Champagne should not conform or just revolve around a number of milestones. Identical to how you drink other wines, the secret to fully savouring each glass is: drink it anytime of day.
A casual rendezvous with your partner? Open a bottle of Champagne. Time to read some books piled up in the corner? Pick a glass and pour some
2009 Louis Roederer Champagne Blanc De Blancs [BUY NOW]. With just a bottle of Champagne, one transforms a mundane task into an entertaining activity.
There is no doubt about it; Champagne is an exceptional wine. Much like how Louis Roederer strives to make each bottle to perfect the quality of sublime taste.
