More Moet please (do you see the flute as being "empty" or simply "waiting to be refilled"?) / Washington, DC / May 2007

Half the fun of drinking champagne is hearing the popping of the cork --€” a sound of celebration and joy --€” and an indication of the effervescence to come. I like drinking champagne from beautiful long-stemmed glasses and I like drinking champagne from paper cups when the occasion calls for it. During the 19th century a champagne cup (pronounced "coupe") with a shallow saucer-shaped bowl became fashionable, so I guess it's good in any kind of vessel. Autumn is the time when the champagne grapes are picked and the fermentation process starts. More champagne please!
