This is a reasonably interesting book for anyone who has ever wondered where champagne comes from and why we pay such a premium for it. The book tells a reasonably comprehensive story of the early days of the Cliquot brand and the woman who built it up. The author attempts to make the main characters come alive by creating scenes and discussions that may or may not have happened. Some of the scenes described could not have happened but they are not critical to the overall story. All in all, a fairly well told story of a strong woman who founded a dynasty.
