Sparkling wine

Sparkling wine is a wine with significant levels of carbon dioxide in it, making it fizzy. While the phrase commonly refers to champagne, EU countries legally reserve that term for products exclusively produced in the Champagne region of France.

Did you know… Sparkling wine was first came about by accident in northern France. The area has cool climates, hilly landscapes, and chalky soil. To the dismay of early vintners, wines made with the grapes grown in the region became unexpectedly fizzy but eventually, they fell in love with it!
