Did you know Dom Perignon, the dude associated with Champagne, was a monk? Although he didn't invent Champagne, he helped to perfect the technique for making it. Champagne is basically wine that has had yeast added to it just before the bottle is sealed; the yeast causes the wine to ferment a bit more, hence the bubbles. The name "Champagne" indicates that the wine comes from the Champagne region of France. If the wine is from anywhere else, it's called "sparkling wine".
Now don't get your panties in a knot about the French. We've claimed bourbon as our own product.
