Champagne fans have known that the sparkling liquid was invented by the French monk Dom Perignon. However, this was not the case. An unknown British doctor from the 16th century was the father of champagne, the tabloid "Daily Mail" reports.
In this way, the established postulates in the 300-year history of the divine drink are challenged. During these three centuries, the French claimed that sparkling wine was their patent.
But now the British want to deprive their neighbors of this worldly pride. Christopher Meret, an unknown doctor from the city of Gloucester, was launched on the Island as the inventor of champagne.
Twenty years before the French Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Perignon discovered champagne, he did so. The story began on a frosty December evening in 1662. Then the physician presented to the Royal Society an eight-page report describing the new developments of the local winemakers. They added sugar to the wine to make it sparkling and got a result very similar to today's champagne.
Even then, Meret also revealed details about the process of secondary fermentation, which today is a key element in the production of champagne, called the "champagne method". It is a chemical reaction that occurs when bottled alcohol is subjected to elevated temperature changes and carbon dioxide is formed in it.
The new authorship of the champagne was launched by the leading British winemaker Mike Roberts, who owns extensive vineyards in East Sussex.
Roberts suggested that English champagne be named after Oxford alumnus Dr. Meret.
Until now, experts have named 1697 as the year of birth for champagne. According to the British, however, Dom Perignon copied the British formula and transferred it to French soil.
Meret was also the first to use the term sparkling wine, which is historically documented. The French did not use it for the first time until 1718.
