- Champagne is only true champagne if it's made in the Champagne region of northern France. All other sparkling wines made outside of this region, even those from neighboring parts of France, must be labeled differently. Champagne often costs double the price of other sparkling wines, such as prosecco or cava. A decent-quality bottle of it can cost you anywhere from $50 to $300, and vintage bottles often sell for thousands.

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.
Let them die from corona aahahahhhha
This is similar to the production of maple syrup in Canada. It's called a 'Cartel.'
@@autodidact537 And that's why you should just avoid buying from these pretentious mafia lords. It's a product, feel free to produce and sell it anywhere. Besides, the romans came there to plant the vineyards and teach you how to make the wine.
Clearly, the name ''champagne'' has become synonimous of that Type of wine, so i don't see anything wrong with calling champagne other bottles not made from there.
you are not forced to buy champagne if you think it's not worth it, anyway. There're many cheaper wines that probably taste better than champagne imo
@@Alek4275 yes if you want to make a certain impression you are forced. People buy it for the image not for the taste. Let's not pretend you have choices. It's like debeers setting the price of diamonds.... since they have monopoly. Can you really always choose to not buy it? Do you think any guy that bought a diamond was craving to spend that amount for a stone?
""The taste is the same"
"So why the price?"
""Uhhh...... History and prestige"
The currency of the rich... is often hollow nonsense.
KNChoudhury said by the poor who have never tasted “nonsense”
The taste is the same? If you have no palate, yes.
Well, no one is forcing consumers to buy it and yet they do, despite the price. If demand were to drop the price would fall too but that's not happening right now. Of course cava and prosecco are better value. A $35 cava is going to be leagues above a $35 champagne.

@@jamesfoo8999 People calling Champagne what's not champagne is absolutely illegal and needs lawyers to apply the law. Would you trust someone selling you tomatoes from "Italy" that are actually made in Romania ?
Champagne is a region in France, just like you call Bordeaux wine, Bourgogne, Jura, Languedoc, Provence, Rhone and all our places.
You can't take advantage of the brand and name champagne workers made centuries to build and not respect the same rules as they do. It's about fair trade.
Champagne is a region, and a wine from that specific region that is absolutely delicious and not so pricy when you find the right producers.
@@lorenzzoklein9178 The thing is that champagne in many languages is synonymous with "sparkling wine". My language is one example of such thing. But someone decided to make it a brand to make money so suddenly we need other terms like "sparkly wine". Its stupid greed and nothing more really. All it would take is to add one word behind champagne from Champagne branding it as the "original".
I will give you example from my own country that you are bound to know... Pilsener. And instead of being stingy like Champagne the brand still made in place of origin (Pilsen Czech Republic) is named Pilsner Urquell (urquell meaning "original well" in latin). Why? Simply because everyone was using pilsener as a name for this specific kind of beer and there was no need changing that. Instead international court made it so that you need to state a place of origin of said beer on label. All the things you named apply to pilsner too (tradition, fair trade, ...). And the same should apply to champagne since its synanymous with the specific kind of wine in many languages.

Vincent D Exactly. 50$ for a birthday, New Years or a graduation isn’t extravagant. There are bottles of rum that cost more
long story short: "it's expensive because we regulated it and law-suited it into artificial scarcity"
You gotta admit thats pretty smart and its taking money from rich people who want to throw it away to show the wealth so its no big deal to me.
I lived in that region and its pretty dark, pretty shitty climate, nothing really stands out but theres is a tooon of small village that are flooded with money from Champagne.
Picking up raisin is a REAL pain in the ass or back rather, and it has to be handpicked to be a Champagne. The price of a Champagne is not starting at 50 in France, more at 10-15 in Champagne for the cheap ones and for 20€ you got a common bottle that americans pays $50
so ya thanks to rich american douchebag for making this shit so pricy that im drinking a CO2 tasting wine and i feel like its the best thing that happened to me
A ton of people complain about stuff like this in the EU, since they are probably the biggest culprit of it (at one point trying to even make all parmesan cheese be from Parmesan) but every country with the power to do this does it.

Q: Why champagne is so expensive?
A: Branding!
exactly.
It's not, you can buy cheap Chinese, Russian champagne very easily....the problem is only when they try to pass off their cheaply made product with the same or similar labeling as the original expensive ones....There's no problem if someone makes his own champagne recipe, produces it cheaply and markets it honestly as his own recipe brand....Champagne was invented and made popular in the French region and everybody in the champagne business should understand and respect that without the original there would've never been any knock-offs..

Actually, Champagne isn't that expensive in France (it still somewhat is because of the global demand that raises the prices, but a regular person can still buy some without problem).

@@Sunstepa don't think so ^^ i'm french and i can explain why, one of the main reason, maybe the big one is the temperature it prevent the champagne to get too much sugar and also during the production, they use sulfur wick, they burn them inside the bottle to prevent from several bacteria. When you make a sparking outside you can get a wine witch is not good in off because of lack off sun if it's too much in north it will not taste the same, and if its too sunny, you will need too much sulfur and then it creates headaches. That is the reason why the climate change is a real threat for champagne producers.

Wow you must really love wine 🍷
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
You described the grape growing process, not the wine making process.
Love it!🥰
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!

It makes sense, though. Champagne (the "generic" term for sparkling wine) is only true champagne when it's made here in Champagne (the place of origin of the liquor). Seriously, it's not that hard to comprehend.
Well you may joke about that if you want but in France most product are associated more or less with the name of the location where they are produced. Comté cheese for exemple is produced in franche comté. Wines of course are associated with the regions of France, bourgogne wine, bordeaux wine...

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.
As do the lawyers mentioned in the video.
"appreciate" the hooohaaa for some fermented grape juice.
That would actually make it less valuable. Vintage wine is expensive, wines with no vintage are less expensive. Your explanation is conpletely wrong.
I'm unsure about this idea of consistency. Even though you are right that regular champagne coming out from big brands is really consistent, I disagree that others outside of Champagne or France cannot be as consistent. Anglo-saxons are particularly gifted to produce standardized wines (thinking of californian red wines or australian ones).
This is often a source of misunderstanding between me and some friends used to those quoted wines. When talking about years, they sometime assume older is necessarily better that younger, and they see me as a bit pedantic when I explain I prefer most bourgogne wines from 2006 but most bordeaux from 2008.
Consistent taste is a synonym of innatural processin
Is there any youtube channel that have the same content as business insider but in French ? Thank you for your help.
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 why its expensive?? Its because the cost of lawyers to eliminate competition for "champagne" word.
artificial scarcity, and branding.
the same process can be replicated all around the world, but you can only name it champagne if you made it in champagne, and im willing to bet that champagne(the place) has some real fuckin expensive real-estate from the champagne(drink) racket.
i could probably grow some grapes hydroponically in my closet, then ferment them into wine, and make that wine into sparkling wine.
but i can't call it "champagne".
they literally just trademarked a word, and that is all there is to it.

The bottle.
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.
That's not true. Champagne can also be made with arbane, pinot blanc and petit meslier.

I love how the video does everything but not explain WHY champagne is so expensive
Low supply and high demand is really all it is. The high demand particularly because Champagne has done such a tremendous job of cementing the association with luxury, class, wealth, etc. with its product more than other wine regions have. It is also a more labor-intensive process to make champagne, the regional laws put very very strict rules on growers, and they age these wines anywhere from 4-15 years in their cellars before they are released for sale. That’s time that they aren’t generating revenue so the price needs to reflect that.
Simple answer : Marketing
@bitterman co well , Australian wine industry is “huge” because of China. But the ausy government is in a useless/childish trump style fight with China now.. Good luck selling the ausy wine !
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.
I found Veuve Clicquot way superior to Dom Perignon and Moet & Chandon, haven't tried other champagne other than those three though only sparkling wines.
At 5:18 i legit heard "by the end of the grape war"
“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”
It's not somthing that they decided, it's just the way it is
Have you even heard of oenology ? People can spot actual champagne during a blind test, because of the unique soil over there. Don't dick around calling hampagne csomething that it's not.
Collecting Champagnes is really a cool hobby.
Hello beautiful 😊
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.
True, and perhaps the smaller, less-well-known Champagne houses sell some of their wines to the UK.

Mark up
There you go I saved you time lol
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.
