Better Get the Bubbly

People seem to be scared of buying sparkling wine. More people buy illegal drugs than bubbly. Of course, I don’t have the~  figures to back this up but talking someone into sparkling is as challenging as getting someone to quit smoking.

A winemaker once told me that ‘the moment is never worthy’ and I guess that’s where we make the call. Is the moment worthy? New Years and weddings are for most a worthy occasion, but that’s more custom than choice. And it’s hardly intimate or something of your own doing.
