Trivia
In July 2010, Finnish divers found 168 bottles of champagne beneath the Baltic Sea off the coast of Åland. The bottles were sent back to France for analysis. Forty-six were identified as Veuve Clicquot. When the wine was tasted in 2015, several of them were still drinkable, well-preserved thanks to the cold and dark conditions at the depth. A bottle of nearly 200-year-old Veuve Clicquot broke the record for the most expensive champagne ever sold. In 2011, a bidder paid EUR30,000 for one of them found in the Baltic Sea.

Goofs
At the end of the movie it's stated that Barbe Nicole passed away at 89. But in fact she passed away at 88.

It is so the we might uncover the secrets of ourselves, better understand the ones we love.The time and place in which we live. And that with any luck, 100 Years from now, someone will know that we were here.

Not what I expected and not in a good way

Working in the industry, I am aware of the place that Madame Clicquot holds in the champagne world to this day. I had read this book and learned some very interesting things about what she did and how she did it. More so, some of her 19th century innovations that are still today's standards. Maybe her most important innovation, the riddling of the bottles during the bottle fermentation, is bearly noted and definitely not named.

What came across in the movie was almost none of that. This ended up somewhat of a confusing love story set against the vineyards of the Champagne region of France. Even her love story with M. Clicquot is ignored, even to the fact and reasons for their marriage taking place in the wine caves under Reims.

This could have been a great story highlighting a woman who really beat the odds when everything was working against her. I had hoped that this might be a good movie for my co-workers to view to learn more about a product we sell quite often. Having watched it, I cannot do that in good conscience, however!
