Dating from the 1970s, a timeworn aluminum champagne bucket branded Charles Heidsieck. This would make a lovely gift for a wine lover. Charles Heidsieck, established in 1851 in Reims, France, by its namesake founder, quickly carved out a significant niche in the champagne market, particularly in the United States. Charles himself ventured to America and successfully marketed his champagne, cultivating a notable presence and earning the moniker "Champagne Charlie" for his efforts.
The house is renowned for its deep cellars in Reims, which house vintages that date back several decades, providing the champagne with its distinct, matured flavors. Over the years, despite facing financial hardships, including Charles's temporary imprisonment during the Civil War due to a misunderstanding, the brand has maintained its reputation for quality.
