CALLING all champagne lovers.
Glasgow is to host a Moët & Chandon celebration day this Saturday as part of a global series of one-day events.
Fans of the luxury brand are being invited to mark the anniversary of the first ever champagne spray moment.
On June 11 1967, Dan Gurney unexpectedly showered the crowd when he popped open a Jeroboam bottle of Moët & Chandon upon his triumph at the 24-hour Le Mans race in France.
The celebrations will get underway at Ashton Lane in the city's West End with a Balearic-inspired party from 12pm-6pm.
Scotland’s 'Godfather of Groove', Nick Peacock, will soundtrack the afternoon along with blissed-out beats from Sharon Unger, plus live sax and percussion.
Bar tenders will be serving up this summer’s must-try champagne, the new Moët Ice Impérial, also known as ‘La Piscine’ – champagne served on the rocks – will guarantee to get the Party Day started in stunning summer style.
Organisers have promised some surprise Moët moments, as well as an outdoor barbeque hosted by Ketchup.
