National Bubbly Day With its effervescence and delicate bubbles, this celebratory drink is perfect for toasting to life's big moments or simply adding some sparkle to an ordinary day.

"On June 3, 1969, the Association de la Sommellerie Internationale was founded in the Champagne region of France. Since wine holidays became a thing, International Sommelier Day is celebrated on June 3rd to commemorate that day over 50 years ago.
