Champagne is deeply French – but the English invented the bubbles

I drink stars!” is the famous quote often attributed to him.

Key Points:

I drink stars!” is the famous quote often attributed to him.
The story of a blind monk having an epiphany, accidentally happening upon the secret to effervescence, was seductive.
It combined divine revelation and French winemaking expertise to produce a national symbol deeply rooted in the French landscape.

The champagne myth

The expo where the champagne myth was propagated marked the 100-year anniversary of Bastille Day and is best known for the debut of another icon of French culture, the Eiffel Tower.
The basis for the myth can be traced to a letter from Dom Grossard of Hautvillers Abbey to the mayor of Aÿ, in the heart of the Champagne region.

No, putting a spoon in an open bottle of champagne doesn't keep it bubbly – but there is a better way

Bubbles, bottles and corks

The method for effervescence, strong glass bottles and the use of corks all came from England in the 17th century.
English consumers imported wine in barrels from France because bottles were taxed at a higher rate than wine imported in bulk.
To produce sparkling wine and retain the effervescence, three things are necessary: bubbles, strong glass bottles and corks.

The paradox?

The “paradox” label, however, only makes sense if the traditions and standards of French winemaking are presumed to be superior.
Bound by tradition, French winemakers were unwilling to contemplate a fault as a desirable innovation.
But necessity was only part of the equation – English culture did play a part in the success of effervesce.

What makes a good life? Existentialists believed we should embrace freedom and authenticity

Aristotle first took on this question in his Nicomachean Ethics – arguably the first time anyone in Western intellectual history had focused on the subject as a standalone question.

Key Points:

Aristotle first took on this question in his Nicomachean Ethics – arguably the first time anyone in Western intellectual history had focused on the subject as a standalone question.
Aristotle proposed, in other words, an answer grounded in an investigation of our purpose or ends (telos) as a species.

Ends and essences

This will allow us to determine what a good or a bad function actually is.
We must first understand what a knife is in order to determine what would constitute its proper function.
He thus proposes that our essence – what makes us unique – is that humans are capable of reasoning.
What a good, flourishing human life involves, therefore, is “some kind of practical life of that part that has reason”.

Existence precedes essence

During the Enlightenment, the dominant philosophical and religious traditions, which included Aristotle’s work, were reexamined in light of new Western principles of thought.
There was a corresponding proliferation of secular approaches to understanding the nature of reality and, by extension, the way we ought to live our lives.
Sartre summed up this principle in the formula “existence precedes essence”.
Believing we possess a predefined essence is one such external circumstance.
Sartre believes the waiter’s exaggeration of waiter-hood is an act – that the waiter is deceiving himself into being a waiter.

An authentic life

This means never acting in such a way that denies we are free.
When we make a choice, that choice must be fully ours.
We have no essence; we are nothing but what we make for ourselves.
“You are free, therefore choose,” he replied to the pupil – “that is to say, invent”.
