Global Champagne Day is celebrated annually on the fourth Friday in October, with the next observance falling on October 24. This day honors champagne, a sparkling wine that originates from the Champagne wine region of France. Champagne is primarily produced using Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay grapes, and is traditionally served in a champagne flute, characterized by its long stem and narrow bowl. The day is often associated with celebrations, particularly on occasions like New Year’s Day, where it is common for winners of racing competitions to spray champagne on each other and the crowd.
