In Literature
Champagne has important symbolic status in renowned literary works, such as:
- Émile Zola's Nana (1880)
- Alexander Pushkin's Eugene Onegin (1833)
- Johann von Goethe's Faust (1808)
In more popular literature – including periodicals and magazines such as Punch, La Vie Parisienne and Le Rire, and with humourists such as Richard Voigts, Honoré Daumier and John Leech – the wine became a vehicle for scathing satires of the elite and middle-classes.
