As the official Champagne sponsor for The Screen Actors Guild Awards since 2001, Champagne Taittinger, continued its long-time partnership in 2019 too. Global Ambassador and Artistic Director Vitalie Taittinger officiated the opening of the star-studded show, which celebrated a milestone 25th anniversary this year with a silver carpet in lieu of the traditional red. Taittinger was joined by actor Jon Huertas, known for his role on ABC’s award-winning show “This is Us” at the top of the carpet for a toast of Champagne  Taittinger’s acclaimed Brut La Francaise NV, to kick off the show at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, as per a PR Newswire release.Vitalie Taittinger commented: “We are extremely honored to be a long-standing partner of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation and all of the good work that they do. This year, our family was excited to present two 15-liter bottles (also known as a Nebuchadnezzar) to be auctioned by SAG-AFTRA to raise additional funds for their work. Our entire team signed one of the bottles and they were all very happy to participate.”As per the release, the longstanding initiative presented by the family-owned Champagne House, took place live on the (this year only) silver carpet, to raise additional funds for the Foundation’s critical Emergency Assistance program—that supports actors and their families in times of urgent need. As part of this commitment, Champagne Taittinger and the SAG-AFTRA Foundation asked every nominee to autograph the Nebuchadnezzar bottle of Champagne Taittinger as they passed the entrance of the Showroom to enter the awards.According to the release, Champagne Taittinger, is one of the last remaining major marque Champagne Houses, both owned and actively managed by the family named on the label. Champagne Taittinger is the second-largest vineyard in the region giving them ultimate control of quality from vine to bottle.Kobrand Corporation was founded in 1944, and remains one of the few family-owned wine and spirits companies, as per the release.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the event.   https://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
