The German soldiers who ransacked a French village's supply of wine didn't know what they were starting. The villagers weren't going to give up their precious wine that easily! A rescue party led by Canon Felix Kir, the local priest, brought about the derailment of the train carrying the soldiers and the wine, thus allowing the villagers to take back what was rightfully theirs.

For this deed of heroism, it's said that the villagers created and named the Kir in the priest's honour.

Harry’s Bar in Venice is famous for far more than just its' Bellini recipe. This well known reported haunt of Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles was opened in 1931. In 1948 Giuseppi Cipriani created the Bellini which was reportedly inspired by the 15th-century Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini.

Giuseppi’s recipe took a long time tradition of marinating fresh peaches in wine to a new level. By mixing fresh white peach puree and champagne Giuseppi had created a new sensation.
