When you christen a large ship, you use a bottle of champagne.
So, when you open a champagne bottling plant, do you use a ship?
Remy DeSanto’s new champagne bottling plant was almost ready to open. He’d hired workers and plant managers and scheduled the inspections and suppliers.
Just needed the formal opening ceremonies to get things started.
Because the plant was nowhere near the coast or a river or a canal, Remy bought a ship in a bottle, and he smashed it across the front doors to open them.
The workers swept up the broken glass, and production began.
