The Sparkling Spectrum: Champagne Isn't For Someday
I'm the girl who opens Champagne on a Wednesday because the sun set beautifully. Who pours bubbles not for what I accomplished, but for what I survived. Who knows that the best occasions aren't the ones on the calendar. They're the ones you decide to honour, right here, right now.
We've been taught that sparkling wine is reserved for the big moments: promotions, proposals, New Year's Eve. But here's what I learned: your life is already happening. Not someday. Not when you've earned it. Right now. The wins deserve Champagne, absolutely. But so does the Tuesday that brought you here. The lesson hidden in defeat. The ordinary sunset. Because choosing to stay present, to live deliberately, to show up day after day—that's the real victory worth acknowledging.
Champagne doesn't create that victory. It simply marks it. It's the fizz that says, "I'm alive, I'm here, and this moment, this ordinary, beautiful moment matters."
OCTOBER 24TH IS CHAMPAGNE DAY. But here's what most people get wrong: sparkling wine isn't reserved for New Year's Eve, proposals, or once-in-a-lifetime celebrations.
Your life as it unfolds already deserves acknowledgment. Not because you earned it. Not because something extraordinary happened. But because you showed up. You're here. You're alive. That's the real victory.
Champagne is simply how we honour those moments. It's the fizz that says, "I'm alive, I'm here, and this already matters."
In our 7TH EDITION OF THE SPICE CELLAR, we're diving deep into the entire sparkling spectrum—Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, Crémant, and beyond. This is an exploration of a philosophy shift: when bubbles belong in your life isn't predetermined. It's a choice you make for the life you're already living.
