The Wimbledon Championships, renowned for its tradition and elegance, has a surprising connection to champagne corks. Due to the vast quantities of champagne consumed during the tournament – estimated to be around 30,000 bottles each year – the discarded corks have become a unique and somewhat quirky symbol of the event. Some attendees collect these corks as souvenirs, while others participate in informal games, such as trying to toss them into glasses or buckets. The sheer volume of champagne corks adds a distinctive, albeit slightly chaotic, element to the Wimbledon atmosphere, highlighting the celebratory nature of the prestigious tennis tournament.
