Listen Later

Hello my lovely archaeogastronomers!


The Delicious Legacy has gone a bit drunk with the most snobby of drinks, champagne!


On this weeks interview I've invited the author Becky Sue Epstein to tell me all about the fascinating history of Champagne. This fancy, fizzy wine from the north east of France, which became the staple of kings, queens royalty and the rich and famous all across the world! How and why?


Let's find out here!


The book "Champagne- A Global History" is out now by Reaktion Books and you can but it straight from their website here or Becky's website
