In France, the average price of a bottle of champagne exceeds 20 euros. It is a sum that is not within everyone’s reach. But there are reasons at this price. First, champagne is complicated to do. But other lesser -known factors increase the bottle rate. Like, for example, a producers’ agreement for an upward grape purchase price.
For their part, large areas break the prices of this exceptional product. This practice also worries the Champagne sector. Indeed, with a champagne at low prices, there is the risk of tarnishing the image of a drink assimilated to luxury and at the party.
