This is the beginning of a new trend in Hungary. What was once considered a ceremonial beverage or celebration drink, champagne and other sparkling drinks now are being consumed on a more regular basis.

With 25 exhibitors, more than 100 bubbling beverages - including champagne, prosecco, “Strongbow”, and many varieties of sparkling wine- were represented.

During the festival, several Hungarian bands were performing to add to the celebration, and I am sure, that the winner and many from the Hungarian Grand Prix will be popping a few corks later on. There are few things that taste better on a hot summer’s sunny day!
