champagne glasses

London’s love affair with Champagne has endured for well over 300 years. When it first arrived in the 1700s, it was a staple of high society, providing an effervescence that lit up Mayfair balls and the opera boxes of Covent Garden. If a prestigious reference were needed, then one should look no further than Charles Dickens in his classic David Copperfield: “There was Champagne to begin with and Champagne to end with”. This demonstrates just how well-received and how synonymous with celebration this festive drink had become in the capital.
