Question: what is the difference between sparkling wine and champagne?
Answer: Champagne can only be called Champagne if it comes from the Champagne region in northern France. A typical Champagne or U.S. sparkling wine is made from a blend of three grapes: chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier. ... It's made from the prosecco or glera grape. Cava is the Spanish sparkling wine.
