The main thing that sets sparkling wine and Champagne apart is where they come from and how they're made. Champagne is made only in a special place called the Champagne region in France, using a traditional method called méthode champenoise. On the other hand, sparkling wine is a broader term that includes any bubbly wine made using different methods from all around the world. So, while every Champagne is a type of sparkling wine, not every sparkling wine can be called Champagne.
