Description: Major champagne houses featured include Pol Roger (Churchill famously drank over 40,000 bottles in his lifetime), Bollinger (appearing in 15 Bond movies), plus Piper-Heidsieck (Marilyn Monroe's favourite), Taittinger, Jay-Z's Armand de Brignac, Cristal, Veuve Clicquot, Queen Elizabeth II's Windsor vineyard. It explores the legend of French monk Dom Perignon, who famously declared "I can taste the stars" when he discovered champagne, and examines the theory that the English actually invented champagne decades before Dom Perignon. It also looks at the impact of climate change. The champagne region is gradually becoming too hot leading to the likes of Pommery and Taittinger acquiring vineyards in southern England where the chalk soil is the same as the champagne region.
