L'Avenue de Champagne (The Champagne Avenue) is a famous street located in Épernay, the 'Capital of champagne', in the Champagne-Ardenne Région of France.
Residents say that this avenue is the most expensive in the world, more so than the Champs-Élysées in Paris, because of the millions of bottles of champagne stored in the kilometres of chalk cellars beneath it.

 Champagne (beverage) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Champagne is typically a white wine even if it is produced with red grapes, because the juice is extracted from the grapes using a gentle process that minimizes the amount of time the juice spends in contact with the skins, which is what makes red wine red.
Most Champagne is non-vintage, produced from a blend of years (the exact blend is only mentioned on the label by a few growers), while that produced from a single vintage is labelled with the year and Millésimé.
Champagne is usually served in a champagne flute, whose characteristics include a long stem with a tall, narrow bowl and opening.

Champagne may be the most misunderstood category of wine in the world.
But true champagne can only be born in an environment that combines the essential elements of chalky soil, a cool climate, and the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grape varieties.
For not-vintage champagnes this might not be that relevant, but storing a more expensive (and complex!) prestige cuvee at 59 F can (and will probably) destroy many of the deliscious aromas of the wine (FYI: for prolonged storage chamagne should be store between 50F/10C and 54F/12C).

 In Search of a Decent Wine List: Restaurant Wine
I’m referring to those restaurants that have a relatively short wine list, so their cellar should be fairly simple to manage, often with just a small number of reds and whites (often just six to ten of each) as well as the essential few bottles of fizz.
As if that wasn’t enough, most restaurants commit further sins with their wine list, when they invite you to play ‘guess the producer’.
Lists such as those described above tell me something about the owner of the restaurant - that they have no love, or perhaps even basic knowledge, of wine.
