Champagne
For wine to be called Champagne, it must be made from any or all of three different grape varieties (Chardonnay, pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier) grown in the Champagne method, a lengthy labor-intensive, and extensive process. Champagne as we know it originally came from the Champagne region of France. However, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and the U.S. are strong contenders in today's Champagne market. Champagne is considered a sparkling wine, due to the bubbles, which are formed during a second fermentation process.
