The ideal accompaniments to any celebration, champagne and sparkling wines both fall under the general category of ‘wine’. Champagne, however, comes exclusively from the Champagne region of France and is easily the most famous of all sparkling wines.
Both are categorised as Extra Brut, Brut, Extra Dry, Sec and Demi-Sec, depending on their sugar levels, as well as vintage and non-vintage. Champagne and sparkling wines are typically derived from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier grapes.
