Champagne was actually invented by the English, claims Mr Taittinger

The head of one of France’s most famous champagne houses claims the bubbly beverage was invented by the English, not the French, contrary to popular belief. Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger, head of family-owned producer, Taittinger Champagne, also says that while the English may have invented the drink, they did so by mistake. “The English left these inexpensive still white wines on the London docks and the wines got cold so they started undergoing a second fermentation [causing them to become carbonated],” he adds.

Why wine in a tin is the next big thing

Wine snobs look away now, because vin-in-a-tin is going to be the spring/summer accessory for 2019. Already huge in the US, canned wine has been seeping its way into the UK since 2016, but this year the trend looks set to hit the big-time, with sales increasing rapidly and supermarkets all getting in on the action: Sainsbury’s and Tesco are both listing PinotPinot Sparkling Pinot Grigio, and Waitrose launched its Maris organic canned range in the summer of 2018. The Uncommon launched the world’s first English wine in a can with its sparkling Bacchus in April 2018, with a rosé arriving this spring, and another newcomer to the scene, Nice wines is launching two still wines this year with its Pale Rosé and Sauvignon Blanc hitting shelves in Sainsbury’s from February and festivals, bars and music venues soon after.
