This world-famous royal wedding 2.0, from the day it was announced, the British people and the media seemed to be injected with a lasting stimulant. Anything about the couple can quickly occupy the headlines, which is crazier than the domestic traffic!
There is a news release about the wedding every few hours.
Even the whole people are betting on who will design the wedding dress, who will be the best man and bridesmaid, who will bring Megan to Harry, which crown the Queen will lend Megan, the location of Prince Harry's bachelor party, and whether he will shave when he gets married. They bet on anything that can be related to the wedding, which is really British.
Gambling projects are dazzling, and there are special gambling guides on the website, which really makes gamblers feel excited.
Moreover, in the town of Windsor, where the wedding was held, the people took the "first-come-first-month benefit" to the extreme. Many residents rent their houses to tourists and the media (some even move out to make room for their tenants). This grand occasion is worse than the wedding of Princess Kate, the first civilian princess.
This is not to blame the British character (Dong). Royal weddings have always attracted much attention. What's more, Megan's background can make people call Princess Biket a wonderful flower!
Although they all come from civilians, Princess Kate follows the "aristocratic model". She studied in an aristocratic school since she was a child, and her words, deeds and manners followed the standards of the nobility. Megan, from a divorced family, not only had a history of marriage, but also made passionate scenes, all of which made the British royal family frown, shake their heads and wave their hands.
Today, however, Megan's marriage with Harry Wang Zixiu is probably due to her mother doria Laagland's strong self-reliance ability, which helped Megan grow into an independent woman with a strong personality and a passion for public welfare.

Megan's personality can also be seen from this wedding. When engaged, she chose a black perspective skirt as a dress, which was different from the traditional royal conservatism. After that, the tradition of using fruit cake in royal wedding was changed and lemon elder cake was customized. Moreover, she and Prince Harry invited 2,640 people to watch the wedding. In short, it is "I don't want to play with the rules you have kept for hundreds of years" (I made a lie myself, whispering bb).
But seriously, such a large-scale invitation really made the British happy for a while. Although many people were invited to watch, only 600 guests were invited to the luncheon. More formal wedding dinner, Frogmore House in Frog has only 200 guests, which is even rarer than Buckingham Palace, and is hosted by Prince Harry's father, Prince of Wales.
Wedding schedule
Compared with the grand occasion of the banquet, as wine media, we are of course more interested in the wine on the wine table. After all, the company responsible for the wedding this year is also an unconventional owner. When it was in charge of the wedding of William and his wife, it chose a supplier without royal certification to supply wine. So what will they drink today?
Megan once revealed in an interview that it was Tina Tiganello who made her realize the structure of wine for the first time. Even to commemorate this wine, she named her blog (now closed) "The TIG" ("TIG" is the nickname of Tignanello), and the phrase "not just wine, but everything" even rose to the height of philosophy. It seems that these two "innovators" who frequently make moves and break the tradition really have a sense of appreciate each other.

Whether this unconventional new princess will choose Tignanello at the dinner party has also triggered speculation among wine lovers.
Of course, in addition to Tignanello, many wine producers and suppliers also revealed to the public in previous interviews that they had received an invitation to supply wine for this royal wedding. Let's see what they have!
champagne
Champagne is naturally a must-have wine to celebrate, not to mention the British royal family's contribution to the status of champagne today, so there is no shortage of champagne for the British royal wedding. This time, they took Brut Reserve, the brand of Pol Roger Polo Champagne, as the first choice.
As early as 1877, PolRoger Champagne won the exclusive champagne brand of the British royal family and was the first champagne brand to win this honor.
Speaking of it, Baolujue Champagne has been an "old man" who has appeared in royal celebrations many times. When his brother Prince William got married, it was one of the choices. At the same time, it is also the champagne brand that Princess Diana loved before her death.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill also loved Polo champagne all his life, so he put out the most classic advertisement of champagne: we enjoy it when we win, but we need it when we lose!
English sparkling wine
Throughout the world, there is still a royal family in China, and no one can become a world-class online celebrity like the British royal family. Kate, Princess Megan and Prince George can carry things in Britain, or they can "double 1 1". Therefore, apart from the royal family having fun with the people, how can we forget the important task of "attracting traffic and bringing domestic products" and how can we not use "home" wine? So in addition to expensive champagne, many English sparkling wines will also appear at the wedding.
Network celebrity family
Hartingley Valley was the first to appear. Hartingley Valley is a young winery, and this is the first time it has appeared at a royal wedding. It can also be seen from the wedding timeline that guests need to wait at least two hours in the church. During this time, the royal family also prepared brunch intimately, and Hartingley Valley was the reception held by the distinguished guests at this time. This winery, established in 2008, has achieved a lot by relying on the fine operation of traditional brewing and oak barrel fermentation.

Another winery revealed is chapple Dang Winery, which has profound qualifications. Chapel Down is the representative of British sparkling wine on many occasions, not only becoming the first British winery to sponsor ascot Racecourse, but also appearing in royal ceremonies many times.
In addition to today's wedding of Prince Harry, its pink dry sparkling wine is also the banquet wine for the wedding of William and his wife and the celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Even the winery itself is the official supplier of sparkling wine at Downing Street 10.
Sure enough, this is a dream wedding full of bubbles! Moreover, if you want to know how much the British can drink, you can feel the sparkling wine alone. Some foreign media estimate that the cost of sparkling wine in the wedding is about $65,438 +0.95 million!
white wine
For white wine, Prince Harry and Megan extended an olive branch to the Croatian winery Ilocki Podrumi. Loki Podrumi's premium Tramina wine brewed from Qiong Yao pulp has always been favored by the royal family. Its 1947 vintage was used for the coronation ceremony of Elizabeth II (now it has risen to 55,509 yuan/bottle), and before that it was a supplier of the British royal court.
At the beginning, Prince William chose this dramatic premium for his wedding. Just two years ago, the Prince of Wales personally visited the winery. With such close contact, it is no wonder that the winery received an invitation to supply early.
Commemorative edition wine money
In addition to these drinks at the wedding, the limited edition of "Royal Wedding" released by various families also earned enough attention. The British will never miss the chance to bet on whether their brand can sell first.
In order to please the royal family, many brands require the royal family to put their names on the names of wineries. The issue of commemorative coins is even more crowded, but it is also crowded! After all, the business opportunities brought by this heat are immeasurable!
Bells also made a memorial to sober up.
For example, in order to commemorate the wedding of the Prince of Wales and Princess Diana, Glenlivet released hundreds of bottles of whisky called "unblended allmalt", and now the price is around 480~ 1200 (auction factors have a great influence).
Mccarron, a famous whisky brand, also released a limited edition of Royal Marriage at that time. The initial retail price was only 20 pounds, but now it can be easily auctioned to 2,000 pounds!
William and his wife got married on 20 1 1, or "royal marriage" issued by mccarron. At that time, the price was 100, and now it has been auctioned to 1200!
There is no doubt that mccarron will not miss the hot spot of the wedding of Prince Harry and Megan, and the price and future increase of liquor are also worth looking forward to by liquor lovers.
The above is the latest news I sent back from England. In order to ensure the safety of the wedding, I haven't received any information about the dinner menu. It is obvious to all that the British royal family kept the wedding news secret. After all, the dinner menu of Prince William's wedding on 20 1 1 was not announced at a menu auction until 20 15. We can only assure you that as soon as there is news, we will immediately notify all wine lovers in China.
