Dom Perignon Wedding was inspired by the magnums of Dom Pérignon Vintage 1961 which were poured at the 1981 wedding of Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles.

Each bottle was inscribed with the Royal’s names and the date of the most viewed wedding in history.

Motivated by this celebrated day, Dom Pérignon will, for the first time in 3 centuries, allow their iconic shield to bear a similar inscription for weddings everywhere.

For the second year in a row, overall sales of bottles of champagne were down — by 9.1 percent in 2009, in comparison with 2008.

The greatest loss came from exports outside the European Union, while exports to EU countries also fell, according to figures revealed by the Interprofessional Committee of Champagne Wine.

In 2009 there were 293.3 million bottles of champagne sold; stable sales in France allowed for a less dramatic overall loss in comparison with exports.
