Part of the Champagne Odyssey
19 legendary champagne + food pairings across 6 continents. From Korean fried chicken in NYC to oysters on Brittany's concrete steps, from 5am sushi at Toyosu to Northern Lights hot tubs in Iceland. Where sommeliers go when no one's watching.
360 million glasses of champagne are consumed on New Year's Eve alone. This chapter traces champagne to its modern pinnacles: Emirates First Class at 40,000 feet (Concorde's spiritual heir), Les Caves Augé in Paris (where Proust shopped, now ground zero for grower champagne), the 98-meter champagne bar at St Pancras, Dubai's Burj Al Arab at 200 meters, Noma's 5x World's Best Restaurant pairing, zero gravity champagne at the edge of space, and the global midnight wave from Sydney to New York.
