What is the difference between sparkling wine and champagne?

Champagne is a sparkling wine, but not all sparkling wines are champagne. The difference lies in where the wine is produced and what grapes are used. Champagne can only be made in the Champagne region of France and must be made with specific grapes. The two most common grapes used in champagne are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The champagne making process is also very specific and includes a second fermentation process that happens in the bottle.

How big of a bottle do you need to make champagne?

The ideal bottle for champagne is called a Methuselah and it holds eight regular-sized champagne bottles, or the equivalent of six liters. But you don’t need a Methuselah-sized bottle for a good champagne. Any bottle that holds 750 ml (a standard wine bottle) or 1.5 liters (a double-size wine bottle) will do. In fact, many champagnes are now being sold in half-bottles (375 ml).
