Why do we drink champagne to celebrate the new year, or other special occasions? The tradition of drinking champagne to mark celebrations originated in the 18th Century in the royal courts of Europe. "Royalty loved the novelty of sparkling wine. It was said to have positive effects on women's beauty and man's wit," according to Live Science. Well, that may be, but we love it because the dramatic pop of a champagne cork signals the opening of festivities. And our cats love playing with the wire thingies that hold the corks in place. Do you ring in the new year with champagne? Sparkling wine? Milk and cookies?
