Overview
Champagne-gate refers to a series of altercations in the season 24 episode two of The Bachelor surrounding a bottle of champagne culminating in contestant Kelsey Weier accidentally spraying champagne on her face while drinking from the bottle. The dramatic events of that evening were widely discussed on TV and Twitter in the following week.
Background
On January 13th, 2020, the Bachelor Nation on ABC YouTube account uploaded "Champagne-gate Explodes at the Bachelor Mansion – The Bachelor" following the airing of the episode on ABC.

In the episode, contestant Kelsey Weier yells at Hannah Ann Sluss for popping open champagne that she had planned to use for her own one-on-one with Peter.
