There's scarcely a better excuse than a birthday, but I think we can agree that what you're likely to be drinking at any such event will vary greatly, depending on whether or not the birthday in question is your own."
"Cremant is sparkling wine made in the same methode traditonelle (traditional method) as champagne, during which the wine undergoes two fermentations to make it sparkling. An initial base wine is made and fermented into a dry wine, then, in a process known as tirage, yeast and sugar are added to kickstart a secondary fermentation, after which the wine is sealed with a crown cap."
