The Screen Actors Guild Awards and Champagne Taittinger celebrated a 20-year partnership with the traditional red carpet arrivals annual toast on Jan. 19. Following the opening toast, Champagne Taittinger, the family-owned Champagne House, was the exclusive Champagne for the Gala with their prized Brut La Française, produced in Reims. As actors entered the SAG Awards showroom they were asked to sign two Methuselah (6 liter) bottles of Champagne Taittinger, which will be bid on at the 26th SAG Awards Ceremony Auction, starting on Jan. 17 through Jan. 27. For every signature, Taittinger will contribute further funds for the Foundation’s critical Emergency Assistance program, which provides $300,000 in grants annually to support actors and their families in times of urgent need.
