Champagne
The sign of a ceremonial dinner. Pretend to despise it, saying: "It's really not a wine." Arouses the enthusiasm of petty folk. Russia drinks more of it than France. Has been the medium for spreading French ideas throughout Europe. During the Regency people did nothing but drink champagne. But technically one doesn't drink it, one "samples" it.
