With this bit of background knowledge, you can even hold your own when in a conversation about this lovely drink, and you might even be able to tell them a few fun facts.

What is Champagne?

Champagne is made from specific grape varieties, namely Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. It is a sparkling wine with varying levels of sweetness. Most champagnes taste dry with high acidity, and they have subtle notes of green fruit and citrus flavors.

Champagne also comes in different styles and sweetness levels. Aside from the most common style of champagne sold, there is Rosé Champagne, made by adding still red wine to the white still wine base.  Blanc de Blancs Champagne is a white sparkling wine made with white grapes, and Blanc de Noirs Champagne is made with black grapes.

The most common sweetness level is called Brut, the most common house vintage available. Extra Brut is slightly sweeter but still dry. Other sweetness levels are called Extra Dry, Sec, Demi-Sec, Doux, and Brut Nature.

Is Sparkling Wine the Same as Champagne?

Technically, champagne is a sparkling wine, but not all sparkling wines sold are considered champagne. Champagne is known for its distinct fizzy quality due to carbon dioxide. This drink gets its signature bubbles due to a second fermentation process that happens in the bottle known as Méthode Champenoise or the “traditional method.” Sparkling wines can only be called champagne when it hails from the Champagne region of France.

Where is Champagne Grown?

The Champagne region is the same area where all champagnes are grown, located in the northeastern part of France, where the cool temperatures make it ideal for growing grapes with high acidity, ideal for champagne. Vacant land in this region is sure to be prime real estate property for anyone who wants to invest in commercial real estate that produces income.

The Champagne region of France is divided into five growing areas. The Vallée de la Marne grows both Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. Côte des Bar and Montagne de Reims grow mainly Pinot Noir, while Côte de Sézanne and Côte des Blancs grow mainly Chardonnay.

Champagne Saber

Opening a champagne bottle is always the most anticipated moment in a celebration. Why not add more drama to this event by using a champagne saber to open the bottle of champagne? When used correctly, a champagne saber will take the cork off with style and elegance.

Champagne Stopper

Champagne is a fizzy drink. And like most fizzy drinks, keeping it open for too long affects its quality. Give someone a champagne stopper to help them keep the champagne sparkling for longer. A set of these is the best gift for people who enjoy a glass or two of champagne but don’t feel like finishing an entire bottle in one night.

Food Pairings

Food and drink go together, and as with red wine, champagne has perfect food pairings as well. For people who love the sweet doux or demi-sec varieties, desserts like milk chocolate and white chocolate are the best gifts. And of course, because champagne has a zesty and acidic taste, it also pairs well with salty foods like caviar.

Books on Champagne

Learning about something you love, like champagne, can be fun. And for the champagne lovers who love to nerd out, giving them a book about champagne will be a delightful treat. Whether it’s on the history of champagne or a guide to the best champagne cocktails, there’s a champagne book for everything.
