In poor countries if any crop is handpicked they are under developed and in rich countries if handpicked it increases the value.😂😂😂

Me, sipping sprite while watching the video: "mmh, yes. Cham-pain."

"Why is Champagne so expensive" Video states "Has 80 lawyers worldwide to protect the name" There's your answer - corporate spending

They neglected to mention that the whole area is fertilized with millions of corpses from ww1...

""The taste is the same" "So why the price?" ""Uhhh...... History and prestige"

You forgot to mention that the production quotas are decided by the union of producers, except that the monopolistic great houses of Champagne (Möet, Perrier, Heidsick, Deutz,...) own more than half of the whole production of Champagne, so basically they choose the price of Champagne and the majority of the producers can't refuse as they are extremely small producers in comparison.

"Champagne is only real champagne when it is made in champagne" -Buisness Insider Narrator

So basically no reason except nonsense laws to inflate the price and protect the brands lol.

long story short: "it's expensive because we regulated it and law-suited it into artificial scarcity"

I loved Champagne when I was in France to study winemaking. Still loving that lovely bubble.. miss it. Now I'm enjoying other sparkling wines in Aus making my own wine :)

Excellent Video! Thanks for sharing this information 😁✌️❤️

KZfaq next recommendation: *"Thing you can't afford, even with your soul"*

i live in Australia were the wine sparkly wines are really good and can get a bottle of wine for about $8 that is far better than champaign and don't see why i should pay an extra $50 just for a name

I went on the caves tour at Moet et Chandon. The tour guide was perfectly open about the fact that they buy in cheap wine from elsewhere to make their champagne.

Loved this!!

Q: Why champagne is so expensive? A: Branding!

It's so expensive that they had to write *so expensive* 2 times in the title

I don't drink alcohol.. never tried champagne. Why I'm watching this 😂

Watching while drinking coffee in the morning. I feel the warm.

France: why is wine so expensive Franschhoek, South Africa: why is wine so cheap

"Champagne is only true Champagne if it's made here, in Champagne." "sellers and cellars" Oh I love repetition.

Wow I learned so much from this video!

Beautiful information 😍🤩😍🤩😍✔✔ greatly appreciated.

Love it!🥰

A cheap champagne (still good) in France starts around 14€ when buying from the wine maker, and standard bottle is ~20€

Wikipedia : *Champagne* (/ʃæmˈpeɪn/, French: [ʃɑ̃paɲ]) is sparkling wine. Many people use the term Champagne as a generic term for sparkling wine but in some countries, it is illegal to label any product Champagne unless it both comes from the Champagne region and is produced under the rules of the appellation.Where EU protectionism laws apply, this alcoholic drink is produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France following rules that demand, among other things, secondary fermentation of the wine in the bottle to create carbonation, specific vineyard practices, sourcing of grapes exclusively from specific parcels in the Champagne appellation and specific pressing regimes unique to the region. Primarily, the grapes Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay are used in the production of almost all Champagne, but a tiny amount of pinot blanc, pinot gris, arbane, and petit meslier are vinified as well. Champagne appellation law allows only grapes grown according to appellation rules in specifically designated plots within the appellation to be used in the production of Champagne. Champagne became associated with royalty in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The leading manufacturers made efforts to associate their Champagnes with nobility and royalty through advertising and packaging, which led to popularity among the emerging middle class. The most prestigious Champagne cellars are located in the cities of Reims and Épernay. Hope you have a nice day!

no one: not even that watch mojo girl buisness insider guy: “champagne is only true champagne when its made here in cHaMPaGnE”

This is what I'm talking about Wine process is one of the most delicate process of all. From weather, heat, ground, surrounding vegetation, air, humidity, soil. Like everything is being calculated to produce the best of quality wines. Even the season the grapes are planted affects the taste of the wine

Business Insider: Why champagne is so expensive Reims: Am I a joke to you?

You forgot to actually explain why it costs more than other wine, it's because unlike other wines, the taste of each champagne brand is consistent, no matter the year, the day it was made. Because a bottle of Moet will taste the same even if it was made 5 years ago, or today. And that's why, unlike other wines, regular champagne doesn't have a year. Only amazing and special harvests are turned into a millesime champagne. And a bottle of champagne can be made of over 60 different years/types of wines produced from Champagne region to keep the taste so fine and consistent and that's only proper to champagne region. That explains the price.

if the taste depends on the microclimate then go for it. i didn't have the opportunity to taste real champagne but parmeggiano reggiano actually tastes different from other types of cheese and that has the same restrictions. but if the 20€ moët tastes the same as the ~2-3€ Törley then that's just a brand.

2:49 the way he pronounced 'heterogeneity' lmao

*"Champagne is only true champagne if its made in champagne"*

"champagne is only true champagne if it's made in champagne" Me: every 60 seconds in Africa 1 minute pass

wow! highly fascinating

working in this farm would be so much fun

The emphasis on quality and detail is outstanding

So why its expensive?? Its because the cost of lawyers to eliminate competition for "champagne" word.

Ooof yum off to get myself a bottle...or two! Bottoms up 🍾🥂

I love how the video does everything but not explain WHY champagne is so expensive

champaign is just a brand, like diamonds the price is inflated

“Why champagne so expensive?” “Because there are other sparkling wine which is better just bear different name.”

Most wonderful.

Interesting!

Simple answer : Marketing

"Especially because of the Eetiroojhineety" 😂😂😂

Wow that's So Cool | So Cool

I was really lucky on a tour recently to Reims. This guy on our tour bought two bottles of dom perignon 2008 and shared it with us!! Was such a beautiful and rich flavour

I'm muslim, why am I even watching this lol but it was pretty insightful

3:16 Coolest accent ever haha

Finally, a true french accent...

They forgot to mention that there are only 3 types of grapes that can be used to make Champagne: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. So technically, you can use those 3 grapes and use the traditional method to ferment them, but it can't be called Champagne if it's made outside of that region.

Collecting Champagnes is really a cool hobby.

“what distinguishes champagne as being unique is that we decided to make everything require human labour, make it incredibly inefficient and incredibly vulnerable to even the slightest weather changes”

I just read a fascinating book called Wine and War which recounts the experiences of winemakers across France during WWII. The Nazi government wanted production to continue, particularly champagne. Wineries received some special concessions in terms of fuel rations and even labor, especially toward the beginning of the war. Some growers collaborated closely with the Nazis and managed to make some money while their neighbors grew poorer; others risked their lives and livelihoods to help the Resistance. It's an amazing collection of stories, and it was published around 2000, so many of the sources are interviews with people who lived through the war as children or young adults. I highly recommend getting your hands on a copy if any of that sounds even slightly interesting to you.

If you want the best Champagne at the best price point, look for Veuve Clicquot or Nicholas Feuillatte. They're both stunning on the level of Dom but much more reasonable.

You can get quality champagne in the UK for £15 a bottle, often less. Presumably proximity to France and no import duties make it significantly cheaper in the U.K. compared to the states.

I have grapes that look like this in my backyard, they taste great 👍

Just had an amazing bottle of 2006 Krug in Lisbon last week. Worth every dollar

"So what makes champagne so expensive?" - Business Insider 2019

The thumbnail looks like it’s blueberries.

This is the way you monopolize an industry without the government using monopoly laws

Ive been to Champagne and let me tell you… the grapes are really really good. … no I didn’t drink any Champagne but I did have Grape juice at one of the wine distilleries. Still on the search for that grape juice again

So basically it's artificially expensive. Yep, sounds like the French.

Well executed explanation, thank you for sharing about Champagne! However we in Indonesia, it's quite hard for normal citizen to access good wine and champagne due to a high luxury tax. If you don't have a good diplomatic relation and know some people, it's hard to purchase so called fine wine, such as Haut Brion or Chateau Margaux. Please make a video about regulation about luxury tax in alcohol and the difficulty to access fine wine/champagne around the globe.

Idk how but this is motivating me to continue practicing giornos theme on my piano

imagine a sparkling wine that identifies has champagne.

I like alcohol but my face turns red and hot if I drink too much 🤣🤣

I will stick to paying for grapes 😂

went to champagen france to learn about this and was blown away by everything

3:54 в голос орнул, когда эту дичь показали))))

we need a blind test of champagne and sparkling wine around the rest of the world.

Mark up There you go I saved you time lol

Is there any youtube channel that have the same content as business insider but in French ? Thank you for your help.

Cook's is my jam

3:43 Wines from all over the world are produced the same way, just named different.

i have a test tmmrw and it’s 3 in the morning

Yo I was on a come down of acid and the guys speaking French just left me speechless LMFAO

Wow only by hand ?!!❤

On this episode of What’s in My Recommend Today....

At 5:18 i legit heard "by the end of the grape war"

Le gars vigneron qui donne son meilleur pour l'anglais, j'adore 🤣

I’ll stick to my sparkling wine . I’m not paying extra for branding much less for prestige. I’m so ghetto I’ll drink it in a mason jar .

I live in the champagne region champagne is very important here we started drinking few drops of champagne when we were child its the tradition like almost everybody down here has already worked in a vineyard for grapes harvesting ! Im glad to see a documentary of my region

Me after recalling drinking an entire bottle of Champagne when I was 18 for the hell of it: 😶

Sparkling wine is the same as Champagne. As for authentic: they forgot to mention that there are no original sorts of wine grapes (destroyed due to deceases) and therefore wines produced in France shouldn't be called Champagne also.

You can get a detailed insight on the process of how Champagne is made in episode 2 and 3 of this channel.

Champagne is Champagne if it is from Champagne which makes Champagne grapes that get turned into Champagne that you drink in your home which is NOT in Champagne. Me: Can you repeat that again?

I want champagne 🥂 🍾 now 🧐🥳 Thank you France

Take a sip of champagne every time they say champagne in this video
