Before choosing between Champagne and Sparkling Wine, it is a must that you should know some basic yet important things about the two alcoholic drinks. Before further ado please take note of the following points to remember:

1. All Champagne Is A Sparkling Wine, But Not All Sparkling Wine Is A Champagne.

2. How Do the Bubbles in Sparkling Wine Produce?

The bubbles in sparkling wine is actually a carbon dioxide gas trap in the wine. It is a byproduct of fermentation. There are two ways in putting it in wine bottle. Either by traditional method or by trapping it.

Traditional method is a labor-intensive method of trapping the gas inside the bottle. Then comes the second fermentation, known as bubble making. Sugar and yeast cells are place in the bottle of wine and seals up tight. Sugar will be consumed by yeast cells which produces carbon dioxide.
