Surviving family gatherings often requires serious amounts of booze-- and Thanksgiving Day celebrations are no exception. And with a holiday so centered around food, making sure said booze can carry you throughout the day is essential. When it comes to getting through Thanksgiving, sipping on Champagne is an absolute must. Aside from the fact that it’s downright delicious, here are five solid reasons why you absolutely need a stash of thirst-quenching bubbles to get you through this Thanksgiving Day.

Champagne Is the Ideal Aperitif Wine

It’s true. Sipping bubbles before a big meal is actually a great way to prepare your stomach for the copious amounts of food to come. The naturally high acidity found in Champagne stimulates the taste buds on your palate, causing your mouth to salivate. This salivation gets your appetite revved up and ready to go for the big dinner that awaits. Turkey, anyone?

Having a selection of versatile wines on the table is key-- and no bottle is more adaptable than Champagne.
