Cellars wine shop was sampling three New Year's Eve "champagne" options. Did you know that only "champagne" produced in the Champagne region of France can be called "champagne?" All others are called "sparkling wine." Cellars carries 25 varieties of champagne or sparkling wine bottles ranging from $5.99 to $200. Their options come from France, Italy, Spain and California.Cheers! Happy New Year - 2011!

Que hagas un buen brindis por el nuevo año 2011 para que te de mucha suerte.
En Barcelona el champange se llama "cava" (cueva)y una botella cuesta a partir de 2 euros.
Un abrazo
Leif, It's been fun getting to know you this year via coffee chats and your blog. Have a safe and happy New Year!
I know champagne is from Champagne. You can call the sparkling wines "skum" in danish and maybe "Sprudelwasser" at german (Sekt is better).
Cheers - and all the best for 2011, Leif and your family!

Just how bad was your hangover after this binge?
The inquiring mind of «Louis la Vache» wants to know...

(Sound of handcuffs clinking shut...)
That's right and the method of production is called champenois :-) --- A very Happy New Year !

Hoffentlich hast Du eine gute Wahl getroffen, um das neue Jahr zu begrüßen. Ich wünsche Dir und Deiner Familie alles Gute für 2011, vor allem aber Gesundheit. Happy New Year!
New Zealand option: Lindauer's special summer treat of citrusy bubbly made from Pinot Gris - though it doesn't even appear on their website. Available NZ$8.99 on lucky weeks from the supermarket. Perfect for a blindingly sunny, scorching afternoons at the beach.
Sorry, Leif. And a very Happy New Year.
Interesting, 'cause I most often hear people talk about champagne rather than 'sparkling wine'. Happy 2011 to you all
Happy new year and thanks for your support!
Same goes for Feta, being produced in Greece.
Please have you all a wonderful happiness filled new year.
