Champagne is a sparkling wine that has long help connotations of luxury and class and is traditionally seen as a celebratory drink. The main thing that makes a bottle of sparkling wine champagne is its place of origin. Champagne may only bare that name if it’s produced in the Champagne region of northern France. The Comité Interprofessionel du Vin de Champagne are the body that decides both where and how the champagne is produced. The term champagne is legally protected and is recognised within the European Union as well as several other large wine producers around the world. Only select sparkling wines produced in certain parts of America still use the term champagne.

Like all wine related drinks, the different tastes have different names and vary from being sweet to dry. The tastes vary depending on how much sugar is added to the drink with Brut being the driest and Demi Sec being the sweetest. Although wine glasses are more common, the champagne flute is specifically designed for this prestigious drink. The The Comité Interprofessionel du Vin de Champagne often stipulates champagne should be made from three different grapes. The two different black grapes produce the pinot noir and the pinot meunier and the white grape produces the chardonnay.

There are several myths that surround both the production and the actual champagne glasses. Dom Perignon is mistakenly given credit for creating the first champagne by accidently creating the bubbles. Sparkling wine has been dotted throughout history and the exact creation of champagne is often disputed. It’s commonly accepted that Benedictine Monks first created sparkling wine over one hundred years before Dom Perignon was born. Perignon’s did have a lot to do with champagnes development. The art of champagne making was greatly improved by Perignon. Another quaint myth associated with the consumption of champagne is the shape of the traditional champagne coupe which is a more bowel shaped champagne flute. Marie Antoinette is said to have has the champagne coupe modelled on her left breast. These rumours cannot be true as champagne and its consumption were already invented over one hundred years before she was born, but they add to the air of the drink being for the privileged and wealthy.
