    Kentucky Derby: The Mint Julep Exception

    The Kentucky Derby is the one major sporting event where champagne lost. Over 120,000 mint juleps are served in two days - 10,000 bottles of bourbon, 2,250 pounds of mint. The tradition started in the 1930s with souvenir glasses. This is why America drinks bourbon, not bubbles, when horses run.
