Champagner of Palm wine

Finally a great invention! Almost every West African knows palm wine. Now an Agricultural Association from Togo has come up with something new. They have made ​​a champagne made ​​from palm wine. In my opinion, a great idea, because the palm wine is a traditional drink in West Africa as well as the grape wine for France or Italy. This is a great finishing of the popular beverage. One bottle of this Champagne costs 35 Euro (45 USD). So friends, the next time you have something to celebrate bring out a toast with a champagne of palm wine instead of the usual Moet champagne:)

Here is a video showing the introduction of the Drink!
