Isn't sparkling wine and champagne the same wine?

Yes and no, they are all sparkling wines, but only sparkling wines in the champagne area of France are called champagne. Actually, we hardly drink champagne. It's just that champagne was the first thing to enter China in the past, which was too expensive for ordinary people to afford. Just like XO in remy martin, it's something that rich people drink and ordinary people say. Later, sparkling wine entered China in large quantities, and the price was very cheap, but champagne was more famous among ordinary people. Because it is the same wine, champagne has become a general term for sparkling wine.

In recent years, with the developed network and fast information circulation, champagne and sparkling wine have begun to be distinguished.

In fact, sparkling wine was called champagne twenty years ago. If you buy your parents a bottle of sparkling wine, they will say champagne.
