The history and progress of the champagne
However, the two boys, Georges and Maurice, faced a great disaster when their factory cellars accidentally collapsed in 1900. The accident resulted in their losing over nearly two million bottles of wine. However, they succeeded in overcoming their loss by developing the firm even to a greater height than at the time the disaster hit them. Even members of royalty purchased champagne from the Rogers for the high quality of their products. However, the WWII halted their rapid development to some extent.Winston Churchill

The same year Cuvee Winston Churchill was launched and by this time, the firm owned over 201 acres of vineyards thus turning the USA into the biggest exporter of wines in the World.Discovery
When Benedictine monk Dom Perignon, was given the task of getting rid of the bubbles formed in the abbey’s sparkling wine and couldn't get rid of them, he tasted his unintentional creation and excitedly called out to his fellow monks, “Come quickly! I am drinking the stars!” According to legend, the invention of champagne was thus discovered on 4th August 1693.
