We're going out with a pop in this final episode of Season One of the Drinks Adventures podcast.Yes, this week we're delving into all things champagne in Australia, where it's fair to say we absolutely love our champagne.Despite our small population we are the world’s sixth largest champagne market, with the biggest consumption per head of population outside Europe, and our imports of champagne have grown tenfold since 2001.First up this episode, I take a look at the Vin de Champagne Awards, a uniquely Australian award organised on behalf of the Comité Champagne, which represents champagne houses, growers and co-operatives of the Champagne region in France.This year was the 43rd edition of these awards and in a short documentary, I speak to several personalities involved in these awards, which seek to discover Australians who are truly passionate about champagne, so much so that they are prepared to put their knowledge about champagne to the test.Next up is a short stand alone interview with renowned wine writer and champagne expert Huon Hooke of The Real Review, who's been somewhat outspoken about what is, in his words, Australia's boring taste in champagne.He talks about how you can spend just a little bit more to get your hands on some champagne that is a bit more complex and interesting.And we also discuss the rise of Australian sparkling wine, which continues to win global recognition for its quality.Last up is an interview with Hervé Dantan, who is chef de cave at Champagne Lanson, one of the largest champagne houses.We talk about what makes champagne unique, what makes Lanson unique and the upcoming launch in Australia of Clos Lanson, a single vineyard champagne.Thanks for your support during Season One of the podcast. I hope you'll join me again in the new year when I embark on Season Two.I'd also like to thank Dave Robertson and Matt Brown, who have each assisted with mixing some of the episodes in this season.And thanks to Asad Rizvi AKA Silverlining for the use of some of his awesome music in the documentary section of this champagne episode, as listed below.Tracklisting:Doodlebug - Loose in your mind (Silverlining Remix)Silverlining - DevotionSilverlining - Ni-Cd DeluxeYou can listen and purchase Asad's tunes on the Silverlining Dubs bandcamp page.All other Drinks Adventures episodes, show notes, transcripts and many helpful links are available on the podcast website, DrinksAdventures.com.au, and you can email me at hello@drinksadventures.com.au.Follow James Atkinson on Facebook here, Instagram here and Twitter here.Theme music ‘Sandbox’ by Cameo Culture.
