Only recently, Emirates obtained exclusive rights to serve top champagne on its flights; specifically bubblies from Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot and Dom Pérignon. This contract means that from 2023 to 2024, Emirates would be the only commercial airline offering champagnes from these brands. Dom Perignon will be served in first class across all routes globally; Veuve Clicquot will be served in business class on routes to the Americas and Europe, and, Moët & Chandon will be offered in business class on routes to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific, including Australasia. Passengers in economy would also be able to purchase Moët & Chandon champagnes if they want.

No doubt, being the only airline to serve these top champagnes would increase the value of Emirates’ premium cabin. So far, Emirates has worked hard to ensure that its premium passengers enjoy the best bubblies: its Business Lounge in Dubai boasts a special Moet & Chandon bar and its unique wine cellar in France reportedly houses up to 6.5 million bottles that has allowed it to serve rare wines such as the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2003 Plenitude 2 on select routes.

For now, other airlines would have to contend with serving premium champagnes from other houses onboard while they work to include attractive luxury options in other categories like onboard amenity kits and even the meals served in-flight. Their wine list is no less remarkable — Qatar Airways serves Krug 2004 champagne in its first class while Etihad offers Champagne Charles Heidsieck, Blanc des Millénaires 2004 in its own first class. Air France serves passengers Piper-Heidsieck 2006 Rare Millésime Champagne in its premier cabin while those in economy can enjoy a drink from the Fleur de Champagne Brut 1er Cru, the signature cuvée of a family-owned and independent wine producer since 1859.

But in the end, none of these champagnes are a Dom Pérignon or a Veuve Clicquot or even a Moët & Chandon. And having exclusive rights to serve them onboard has definitely put Emirates ahead. For now at least.

An Icon of Celebration since 1743

A long history of grand and festive events has made Moët & Chandon a global icon of celebration since 1743.

Served in the White House by the early 1900s and enjoyed at the coronation of Edward VII and Elizabeth II, Moët & Chandon has invited the world to create a sparkling ambience and shared unforgettable moments since its earliest years.

This holiday season will be no different: Moët & Chandon will once again deploy its legendary ‘savoir-fête’ to celebrate togetherness around the effervescence of its champagnes with spectacular lights to climax each event.

Effervescence Events around the World

The holiday season is about bringing people together to build and share memorable moments, marked by bubbles and lights. For the second year, Moët & Chandon will present a spellbinding display of illuminations and unmissable parties to share the joy of togetherness in more than 20 cities around the world.

It was a desire of Jean-Remy Moët, grandchild of the founder of the House, to make his champagne known to the globe and bring people together under its name and vibrancy. It is in the spirit of this that Moët & Chandon has put together a series of events — which started in mid-November and will end on New Year’s Eve — to celebrate the festive season around the world.

The Effervescence Events have been expertly designed to delight guests and Friends of the House and would include musical performances and entertainment, punctuated with cork-popping sounds and the joyful ‘savoir-fête’ of Moët & Chandon. The star of these exceptional gatherings is Moët Impérial, whose ability to appeal to all cultures everywhere has made it the most widely enjoyed champagne on earth. Its universal likability is the special ingredient of celebrations both grand and intimate.

Holiday Season 2022 Limited-Edition Bottle

To accompany its end-of-year festivities, Moët & Chandon is pleased to present a special 2022 Holiday Season bottle, allowing champagne lovers and collectors to take home a memento of the House’s legendary ‘savoir-fête.’

The special bottle, dubbed The Spark of Light, comes in the classic 75cl size and is dressed in a bespoke golden, cheerful firework pattern on a white background, symbolizing displays of radiance that have illuminated the most extraordinary celebrations throughout the history of Moët & Chandon.

A piece that defines a holiday table; a treat for families and friends; a treasure for passionate collectors; a new journey of adventure and discovery for those who are enjoying it for the first time, or, an appreciated detail for those who have it all: The Spark of Light is the gift transforming each gathering into a festive moment. This limited-edition bottle will be available exclusively during this year’s holiday season.
