Champagne
1. The most refined sparkling wine, produced only in the Champagne region of France. 2. The region where the champagne is made. Only champagne made in Champagne should be called 'champagne'. On some other similar sparkling wines you may find 'methode champenoise', thus meaning that the wine does not come from the Champagne region, but that it was produced following the method used in Champagne.
