More Champagne Anyone?

November 8, 2007 | by Jason Bordley | Champagne

chamglas.jpg Decanter.com has a small article about the French appellations body looking to expand the Champagne region by 40 villages/communes, giving more vineyards the right to call their sparkling wines Champagne. The article goes on to state that with this expansion, they are hoping Champagne’s annual production will increase from last years 333m bottles per year to 430m bottles per year by 2011 (which is about a 97m bottle increase). Now thats a lot of champagne. [decanter]
