Wine (which goes with champagne) sales in general are down, supposedly because the boomer generation was much more into wine than later generations. I'm "meh" on wine. I'm turned off by all of the hype and complexity of it. Craft beer went down that path also. I buy wine but I'm not a regular drinker of it. Maybe once per month at most.

I'm sure prices are hurting it also. When you are tight on money Champagne is on the bottom of the list. It is a luxury.
