Monks are responsible for champagne’s appearance, as was the case often due to their meticulous tending of the vineyards. One monk from Champagne, France, who was nearly blind, is believed to have discovered the process of wine fermentation in relation to weather conditions (cold winter, hot spring).

It was at first a mistake but it turned out to have been delicious. It was 1697. Dom Pierre Perignon was the monk who created champagne.

An English couple also claim the invention of bubbly wine. They state that the process was discovered 35 years earlier in the Cotswolds in 1662. Christopher Merrett, a scientist, wrote down the process of adding sugar to wine to make bubbles. It’s a wonderful addition that everyone can enjoy, no matter who gets credit.

What is the difference between prosecco, champagne and other bubbly white wines like prosecco? Champagne makers will typically use Pinot noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier varieties in their blends. Pinot Gris and Petit Meslie are two other options. They are all from France’s Champagne region.

Some champagnes have a sweeter taste than others, but they all will have the same flavors: hints of orange zest, white cherries, almonds, and a hint of lemon. Sometimes, the aging process can give it a weird aroma that may include hints of toast, cheese-rind, or brioche.
