What does聽National Champagne Day mean?
Falling annually on December 31 or August 4,聽National Champagne Day is an unofficial holiday all about sipping on some bubbly. Champagne is all that’s required!
Where does National Champagne Day come from?
Before everyone was hashtagging it on social media, National Champagne Day聽was mentioned in a few books in the mid-2000s. The 2007 books聽Practically Useless Information on Food and 顿谤颈苍办听Wine Enthusiast聽both mark the holiday on August 4.
However, the website National Day Calendar, keeper of all informal holidays, lists the holiday on December 31. It doesn’t have an official registration date for National Champagne Day, though its webpage for it dates back to 2014. Since many people traditionally pop the sparkling wine of champagne on New Year’s Eve, many are inadvertently celebrating anyways. So, it makes for a good fit.
The hashtag #NationalChampagneDay, meanwhile, first appeared on Twitter in 2010 and has since increased in more frequency around the months of December and January. Restaurants and alcohol vendors take advantage of the day and and host special champagne-themed events to draw in customers.
There’s also a Global Champagne Day, observed on October 19 each year … because why not?
