As part of the celebration, the Champagne Bureau, USA is once again hosting a contest to recognize authentic Champagne and will give away a new iPad to one lucky winner. There are two ways to enter for a chance to win the latest iPad: 1) Send an ORIGINAL photograph that you have taken of an authentic Champagne label to champagne@clsdc.com with the email subject line as “Champagne Day 2012 Label Contest Entry” OR 2) Post the picture including the authentic Champagne label to your Facebook profile and tag yourself and the Champagne Bureau in the picture.
One Grand Prize-winner will be selected randomly on October 23 and receive a new iPad.
The winner will be announced on October 26, Champagne Day. Complete contest rules are available at http://bit.ly/UmVXfY.
Contest entrants may submit multiple entries to increase their chances of winning. All entries must be unique, as duplicate entries will not be considered. While one can find a great number of sparkling wines produced worldwide, true Champagne only comes from Champagne, France. Its name can only be used on a label if the grapes and the wine are produced, under strict quality controls, in the region.
Unfortunately, approximately 50 percent of sparkling wines sold in the United States are mislabeled as “Champagne.”
To demonstrate your commitment to understanding and protecting true Champagne, the Champagne Bureau, USA is asking you to send and post pictures you’ve taken of authentic Champagne labels starting today. For more information about this contest, please visit http://bit.ly/UmVXfY.
