Every year, Stockholm's student nation in Uppsala organizes champagne gallop during the last of April celebrations. Champagne gallop is a tradition in Uppsala's student life on the last day of April that involves drinking champagne or sparkling wine at one of the student nations immediately after the cap donning at Carolina Rediviva. The name comes from the fact that you traditionally have to run from the donning of the cap to a nation.
This year, Stockholms nation has purchased a total of 4,000 bottles of bubbly – and despite the tougher economic situation, the purchase of bottles has not changed. The last bottles arrived on Monday.
– Walpurgis is not a for-profit project for us, it's more about giving back to the students, says Joakim Elmström, head chef at Stockholms nation.
