It’s National Bubbly Day

The first Saturday in June is the day to break out that special bottle of sparkling wine you’ve been saving.  Please note – while many people think that “bubbly” is merely a synonym for Champagne, the nickname really can refer to any sort of sparkling wine. Champagne is a specific sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France. This differentiation should help you keep those french sommeliers at bay. In the privacy of your own home, you may refer to any type of sparkling wine, as Champagne – it’s no skin off my teeth.

National Bubble Day was invented by Freixenet Cava in 2016. This company has been making sparking wine since the 1860s, and the first bottle was released in 1914. This holiday was created to bring attention to sparking wine and how it can be enjoyed not just on this holiday but any day of the year. Other types of “bubbly” may include Prosecco (from Italy), Cava (from Spain), Moscato (from Italy) and many additional options.
