"CHAMPAGNE: BUBBLING STORIES IN ART, LITERATURE, AND CINEMA"
You are invited to a literary meeting with Alexander Shunin, held in conjunction with a champagne tasting.
Alexander Shunin is a book enthusiast and the author of the TikTok channel "The Rare Words Channel," where he shares unusual words. He combines his love for literature, wine, and captivating stories, inviting you on an exciting journey through a world where these three passions are inextricably intertwined.
Champagne has accompanied important events, social gatherings, and declarations of love for centuries. It is a drink of celebration and an expressive cultural symbol. Its role in culture has long transcended the glass: champagne lives in the narratives of paintings, on cinema screens, and within the pages of novels. Characters in works by Chekhov, the Bond series, and Fitzgerald enjoy champagne, which sparkles in frames and on canvases — from Watteau to Matisse.
At this meeting, we will discuss how champagne has become a marker of luxury — and why it often appears not at the peak of events, but in the moments leading up to them.
Bubbly scenes, sparkling quotes, and only true facts — all genuine. No pretense, just like good champagne.
The events are held in Russian for persons over 18 years of age.
