It was invented in England by cider makers in Gloucestershire Devon.
French will tell you a French Monk Don perignon created champagne, but the English created it 20yrs before hand,by taking a bottle of french wine and adding suger ( creating the fermentation process) also English bottles were alot thicker and stronger so they didnt explode during the process. The French didnt have thick strong bottles that would of supported it.
The question in itself is wrong. The answer you are obviously grasping for is Don Perignon, who was a Benedictine Monk. However white wine was produced in the Champagne region for many years previously. It is widely understood that this wine was flat until the 16th century English aristocracy decided to make it fizzy.
In future please research these some what trivial pursuit level questions thoroughly before embarrassing yourselves by posting them. What you have clearly done is look at any number of so called 'factual' websites that all follow the same inaccurate misconceptions. Go to a library, read a book, find out the facts.
The world's first sparkling wine was produced in South of France in 1531, by the monks at the abbey in Saint-Hilaire. It is called "blanquette de Limoux.
About 100 years before the British.
Dom Perignon did not invented the "Methode Champenoise", he perfected it!
Sparkling wine, contrary to popular myth, was not invented by the blind monk, Dom Perignon. He did, however, make several improvements that helped make producing it easier.
Wine producers in Champagne originally saw bubbles as a defect and tried to eliminate their development. However, when still wine from that region developed bubbles bubbles naturally in casks in England, the British found them to be enjoyable.
With a market for the effervescent wines, Dom Perignon worked to make their production easier.
il a "inventé le champagne"
1638
The man credited with inventing champagne is Dom PΓ©rignon, a Benedictine monk who worked as a cellar master at the Abbey of Hautvillers in France during the 17th century. He is known for his contributions to the development of the traditional method of making sparkling wine.
It is generally accepted that the Benedictine Monk Dom Perignon 'invented' champagne. However, the English scientist and physician Christopher Merret documented the addition of sugar to finish wine and create a second fermentation years before. Dom Perignon certainly improved the production of champagne. The use of Christopher Merrit's process, called méthode champenoise began in the 19th century, 200 years after he documented the process.

It comes from the history of Champagne. A monk Dom Perignon (also known as a Champagne made by Moet) was making wine and it kept exploding. He drank one of the unexploded bottles that was fizzy and it is said that he called for the other monks saying "Come quickly, I'm tasting the Stars!" Thus champagne was related to the stars. When Champagne was first created they didnt have labels so to know which champagne was what you looked at the corks, one of the most famous women who ran a Champagne house used the star as the first symbol on her corks; Veuve Clicquot.
Contrary to common myth, sparkling wine was first developed by the English and they did so several decades before the French claim that they developed it. Research has established that they myth that it was a blind monk in France was actually created as part of an advertising campaign at the turn of the twentieth century. The myth is that it was developed by "a monk and he was a manager of food and wine storehouse in Saint-Pierre d'Hautvillers abbey."
The haiku was invented in Japan by a monk named Matsuo Basho in the 1600's.
