From a defective wine of the too northern regions, where they knew nothing about viticulture, champagne turned into the wine of kings and an indispensable attribute of all victories and celebrations. I will tell you how the Romans brought grapes to the north of Gaul, how medieval monks began mass production of not very red wine there, how this wine began to explode in bottles (and how Dom Perignon tried to fight it) and how champagne finally conquered the markets and the hearts of millions.
