Mondays? Oh, I usually strut into the wine shop like a fancy penguin, grabbing champagne to toast my survival of the weekend. Nothing beats flirting with the cashier over bubbly in person! But then, plot twist, I spot the crypto market doing the limbo (how low can it go?), so I

I wish every non-vintage (NV) Champagne listed its disgorgement date. With a house-style NV, I expect 5 to 6 atmospheres of pressure, nothing ruins the moment like popping a cork and finding it flat. Big-name houses turn over stock fast, so freshness is rarely an issue. But when

Wine knowledge is the ultimate movie-ruiner. Picture this: a four-time Decanter-winning master blender swoops in to save the heroine’s vineyard. He heroically dumps Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Grigio into a bucket like it’s fruit punch. The grower calls the vines ‘Vitis
