Anyone who expresses even so much as a fleeting interest in great wine will soon come across Krug, for many the greatest champagne of all.

Held on the fourth Friday of October – in 2023, the 27th of October – Champagne Day was originally established in 2009 by Californian wine educator, Chris Oggenfus, and has taken off, with events around the world.
