That depends on your point of view. If you don't get upset by people offering you a Coke when it's actually Pepsi, then yes. If you do, then no.

The word "Champagne" is sort of like a brand. It means a sparkling wine, prepared in a certain way, made in a particular region of France from grapes grown in that region of France.

Wines made in the exact same way, using grapes genetically identical, but in a different location are not, technically, "Champagne." They should be called by some other name, or generically "sparkling wine". However, everyone outside of Europe except a few wine snobs largely ignores this. (In Europe, it's illegal to sell wines from outside the Champagne region as "Champagne." In the US... not so much.) So Asti Spumante, another sparkling wine from Europe, is called that rather than "Italian Champagne" (Asti Spumante is not Champagne. For one thing, it tastes much better.)

How long will a bottle of Brights President Grande Reserve Canadian Champagne last?

In August 2012 my family and friends were celebrating a special occasion. Brights President Grande Reserve Canadian Champagne was being served to toast the occasion. Much to our disappointment (and embarrassment) after opening and serving the champagne none of the guests could drink the beverage. Many people complained that the champagne tasted spoiled. Needless to say we were very upset and had nothing else to serve to them. This experience was disappointing and costly. We have used this champagne in the past and were always very pleased with the taste. What could have happened? Sincerely Linda clinda6@yahoo.ca (905) 820-8485

Tectonically it is a sparkling wine because only sparklings from Champagne France an be called champagne. Verde is really a beer product it is made of malt not of grapes.
