TODAY IN THE PAST: AUGUST 4, 1693 ÉPERNAY, FRANCE: Benedictine monk Dom Perignon invents the process of bottle-fermenting wine, producing for the first time the product we now know as champagne. After tasting the first bottle, he is reported to have cried, Come quickly, I am tasting the stars. Then he is reputed to have poured the bottle all over his scantily clad girlfriend while cruising the town in a donkey cart. —More Information Than You Require (2008) \|/ Reposted by: -H- Team /|\ Hodgmania
