Champagne is SUING English Wineries (Because They're LOSING)

Does champagne still hold the crown in the sparkling wines aisle?
The biggest French Champagne houses are suing English wineries. Quietly buying English soil. And losing to them in blind tastings. If you've ever wondered why a bottle of Champagne costs £100 — and whether it's still worth it — this video is for you.

The French built the most powerful marketing story in wine. The British just made it irrelevant. And the French already know.
