Champagne is the region in France where the grapes grow and the sparkling wine called Champagne is produced. Only wine from Champagne grapes should be called Champagne. However, many other sparkling wines from California, other Regions in France, Spain, Italy, Australia are deliciously bubbly. Try them out, and enjoy the "Bubbly" at any occasion

The term Champagne is like Kleenex (for a tissue) or Jello (for another brand of Gelatin). I'm sure others can come up with numerous examples, and only the true wine snob will correct you if you refer to your California Brut bubbly as Champagne.

Only sparkling wines from Champagne, France can legally be called Champagne. Asti Spumante and other carbonated wines, such as Prosecco, are sparkling wines. Wines that lack carbonation are called still wines.

No ther isn't. Asti means it comes from Italy, and Champagne means it comes from the Champagne region of France. Unless Italy invades the French region of Champagne, you won't find an Asti Champagne.

Spumante is Italian sparkling wine. Asti Spumanti is spumanti produced near the town of Asti. So all Asti Spumanti is spumanti but not all spumanti is Asti Spumanti.
