In Episode 26 of Thanks! It's Vintage, co-hosts Andrew and Lydia are tackling the unprecedented news coming straight out of France's most prestigious sparkling wine region. The 2026 Champagne harvest hasn't just broken records with its historically early start in August; it has fundamentally challenged the very chemistry of the region's famous bubbly. The duo breaks down how a brutal string of summer heatwaves and drought sent grape sugars skyrocketing, forcing French regulators to grant a temporary, historic exception allowing some 2026 Champagnes to reach up to 15% ABV. Andrew and Lydia unpack what this massive shift means for the traditionally crisp, low-alcohol profile of Champagne, how winemakers are scrambling to use reserve blends to keep their cuvées balanced, and whether these intensely ripe, low-yield grapes will ultimately produce highly coveted single-vintage bottles. Whether you're worried about your favorite celebration pour getting a little too boozy or fascinated by how a changing climate is actively reshaping traditional winemaking, grab a glass and join the conversation as the hosts explore what this exceptional vintage means for the future of bubbles.
