| | Champagne (beverage) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Champagne is a sparkling wine (fizzy wine) produced by inducing the in-bottle secondary fermentation of wine to effect carbonation. | | | Champagne is typically a white wine even if it is produced with red grapes, because the juice is extracted from the grapes using a gentle process that minimizes the amount of time the juice spends in contact with the skins, which is what gives red wine its colour. | | | Many Champagnes are produced from bought-in grapes by well known brands such as Veuve Clicquot or Mumm. |

| | Champagne (province) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Champagne is one of the traditional provinces of France, a region of France that is best known for the production of the sparkling white wine that bears the region's name. | | | Traditional historians have dated the decline of the Champagne fairs to the conquest of Champagne by Philip the Bold in 1273 and Champagne's subsequent inclusion within the Crown of France by Philip IV in 1284. | | | The Champagne fairs were a circuit of six cloth fairs in the towns of Champagne and Brie, changing location every two months and spanning the year from January to October. |

| | Champagne - Mark Vogel Food For Thought - Food Reference Beverage Facts |
| | While Champagne with caviar or raw oysters are the classic and sublime combinations, it pairs exceedingly well with shellfish in general, sushi, foie gras, cheese, and chicken. | | | Champagne can be made from solely red grapes, known as blanc de noirs, solely white grapes, blanc de blancs, or more commonly, a mixture of both. | | | Regular wine is made only from the grapes of that year’s harvest, which is denoted on the bottle annually. |

| | What makes champagne different may not be obvious to the untrained palette -- it has to do with things like climate, soil, and growing season, as well as the way the wine is aged, which produces what Fallon calls a bready flavor. | | | To properly be called ''champagne," the wine must come from the Champagne region of France. | | | The Adams Beverage Group, which conducts market research on the alcoholic beverage industry, reports that Americans consumed $2.8 billion worth of champagne and sparkling wine in 2003, or nearly one bottle per drinking adult. |

| | Champagne! - French Culture |
| | The bubbly beverage had its beginnings in France in the La Champagne region, which has long produced grapes from coveted vineyards. | | | Quite by accident, champagne was discovered when casks of wine were shipped out from France and the warm weather set off a secondary fermentation during the journey. | | | But the tides turned for champagne when WWI began in earnest, and a German invasion into the region led to the use of the enormous caves beneath Reims being used as shelters from the bombardments of military weaponry. |
