Not only did the champagne market form the foundations of the luxury market we know today, this book shows how it was integral to a number of 19th century social concerns such as the 'temperate turn', anxieties over adulteration and the increasingly prosperous British middle class. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing archival sources from major French producers such as Moët \u0026amp; Chandon, Veuve Clicquot and Pommery \u0026amp; Greno alongside records from British distributors, newspapers, magazines and wine literature, \u003ci\u003eChampagne in Britain\u003c\/i\u003e shows how champagne became embedded in the habits of Victorian society. Illustrating the social and marketing dynamics that centered on champagne's luxury status, it reveals the importance of fashion as a driver of choice, the power of the label and the illusion of scarcity. It shows how, through the reach of imperial Britain, the British taste for Champagne spread across the globe and became a marker for status and celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraham Harding\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate of the History Faculty at Oxford University, UK, having returned to academia after forty years as a branding and marketing consultant specialising in food and drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 20, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52242643157266,"sku":"9781350212930","price":73.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/SmxTL0R1ZFk3MW9DeFh0UkdtUGhZQT09.webp?v=1777918266","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/champagne-in-britain-1800-1914-how-the-british-transformed-a-french-luxury-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
