Durham University Champagne Society

The Durham University Champagne Society was established by Carlo Caro and James Edward Fournier in October 2011 in order to introduce students to the culture of champagne tasting and to the diverse and prestigious champagne houses. As a gauge of interest could all those eager to become part of this prestigious society and hear news about our social calendar join the official society group. We look forward to seeing many of you at the social events.
